Awkword - Penny lyrics

rate me

Retrospect is 20 - 20, about a girl named Penny

Thought she wasn’t worth it, she said I wasn’t ready

Too messed up in the head, plus no job steady

I said I’m a starving artist, and you’re supposed to get me

But evidently what I represent’s a bit sketchy

Probably thinking something like, my dad would never let me

I met the mom and sister, I think they both sweat me

I said run away with me she said, please, don’t tempt me

But that was kindness, I know, she had her own plans

And I understood, clearly, she deserves a grown man

An optimist that’s focused, likes to take her out

Not some crazy type a genius always bringing her down

Sometimes I sit and think that I’m best without her

Or maybe I made this song just so I could say it louder

Prouder of myself now, then I was back then

All I wanna do is tell her, girl, we can’t be friends

Hook:

Sometimes, I sit and think, I’m best left alone

Then I get under the covers, remember the cold

I miss you in the morning when I’m putting on my clothes

When I’m sitting there, bored, just staring at the phone

Sometimes, I sit and think, I’m best left alone

Then I go out with the homies, see you at the show

I miss you in the crowd when we sharing a smoke

When I get bad news look for someone to hold

Bridge:

I’m gonna pry

So I can see

Or someday

You may not see me, hanging on

Penny laughed a lot, I always had that

Actually come to think of it, I’ve always had that

Nope that wasn’t exclusive, and what about these raps?

She went to my shows and gave me half-ass claps

Perhaps it’s merely that, I just don’t like feeling lonely

There’s plenty more fish in the sea, she’s not the only

I asked her why she thought I was fly, and she told me

There ain’t nobody like me in the world, that’s near holy

I got a lot to offer, I’m honest, open and endowed

I got a job now, would a made mom proud

Yeah I can’t stay off the drugs, but that’s when it’s just me

Trust me, if you were here, I’d be drug free, you’d love me

Sometimes I sit and think about me and you forever

Perhaps I made this song to kinda be a love letter

Or maybe I’m wrong, maybe alone is just better

I’m a find a dime, yeah at the club, then undress her

Hook:

Sometimes, I sit and think, I’m best left alone

Then I get under the covers, remember the cold

I miss you in the morning when I’m putting on my clothes

When I’m sitting there, bored, just staring at the phone

Sometimes, I sit and think, I’m best left alone

Then I go out with the homies, see you at the show

I miss you in the crowd when we sharing a smoke

When I get bad news look for someone to hold
