lyrics

I don't tend to be petty
I don't tend to be cold
but i've had just enough
of undercutting just how rough you treated me
It was pretty bad

I've been keeping up appearances
Left the worst of you untold
but now i'm good on that
ready to have a chat about how you're a massive piece of shit

It was all about you, you, you, you, you
everyone else didn't matter
it was all about you
whatever made you feel better
it was never all that great
you can go and check the tapes
Can't believe how long I waited
to be petty.

Wish I could tell your future girlfriends
all the shit you're gonna try
but i've gotta cut all ties
so rue the day they realize who you really are, because you can't hide it

I know you haven't changed a single bit
And that means that I've got no regrets
your parting words to me
were deja vu of everything you used to do
On the same old topic, too:

You, you, you, you, you!
everyone else didn't matter
it was all about you
whatever made you feel better
it was never all that great
you can go and check the tapes
I can't believe how long I waited
to be petty.

Is it trivial to want someone who respects you?
Insignificant to want someone who is faithful to you?
A minor grievance to want someone who doesn't pressure you?
If that's petty
Then I'm fucking petty as hell
Yes, I'll let it go
But first, I want everyone to know

it was all about you, you, you, you, you
I never mattered
it was all about you
I did what made you feel better
it was never all that great
Go and check the tapes
I can't believe how long I waited
to be petty.

MIDI Myers image

MIDI Myers Boston, Massachusetts

I'm an electro-pop musician who goes by "MIDI Myers," a tribute to my actual name (Maddy Myers) and the MIDI pad that I use when I play live, in conjunction with my keytar and live vocals. My lyrics often blend honest accounts of my own life experiences and anxieties with humor and pop culture allusions, all set to keytar leads, electronic drums, and a comprehensive bank of MIDI synths. ... more
