Detention Lyrics by Melanie Martinez Melanie Martinez
Below, you will find the lyrics for Detention by Melanie Martinez.
Verse 1
I'm not a bad guy
So don't treat me bad if I'm feeling sad, alright?
Please don't be mad if I don't smile back, alright?
If I up my words, don't think I'm absurd, alright?
Alright?
Chorus 1
I'm physically exhausted
Tired of my knuckles beating
I'm chewing gum to pass this time of sadness
Can't you see it?
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes
Don't care how I'm feeling
You write me up and say it's love
And I can't believe it
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
I can feel your blood pressure rise, this tension
Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
Pretending everything's alright is detention
Detention
Detention
Pretending everything's all right is
Verse 2
The teachers don't care about me
How I feel, as long as I make money
They let them do whatever they want to me
They're the customer, I'm chopped meat
I'm chopped meat
Chorus 2
I'm physically exhausted
Tired of my knuckles beating
I'm chewing gum to pass this time of sadness
Can't you see it?
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes
Don't care how I'm feeling
You write me up and say it's love
And I can't believe it
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
I can feel your blood pressure rise, this tension
Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
Pretending everything's alright is detention
Detention
Detention
Pretending everything's all right is detention
Bridge
I wanna go home and you say, 'Now is not the time'
Being all alone in the back of the classroom
Stop calling up my phone, trying to say that I've been out of line
When all I ever asked was to go to the bathroom
Chorus 3
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
I can feel your blood pressure rise, this tension
Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
Pretending everything's alright is detention
Outro
Tonight
I can feel your blood pressure rise
Outro
Let me crawl up into your mind
Pretending everything's alright
