Pay No Mind (feat. Passion Pit)

She was dancing, she was smiling, roses blooming on her cheeks
 In a quiet kind of litany, she accepted some defeat
 And then she twirled into the arms of disgrace and then repelled
 Now she's fallen to her knees, but you couldn't ever tell
 And then, she asks me how we got here
 I told her, "I don't know"
 And if you keep on asking, I'll just keep saying so
 This isn't what I wanted, it isn't what you need
 Oh, let them keep on talking, just calm yourself and breathe
 Don't you pay them any mind
 Don't you pay them any mind
 You know this happens every time
 Now, don't you pay them any mind
 Where the burdens of her mother weigh like sandbags on the eyes
 As she closes just to open as the sirens whirling by
 And now she's off to tell a secret to a friend somewhere in town
 And her friend just takes a moment, and asks why I'm not around
 Darling, this is something I should've told you long ago
 I just want you to feel safe, I just wanna make you glow
 Oh, how you glowed when we were young, and with nothing on our minds
 But each other, one another and we had nothing then but time
 And then, she asks me how we got here
 I told her, "I don't know"
 And if you keep on asking, I'll just keep saying so
 This isn't what I wanted, it isn't what you need
 Oh, let them keep on talking, just calm yourself and breathe
 Don't you pay them any mind
 Don't you pay them any mind
 You know this happens every time
 Now, don't you pay them any mind
 ♪
 Oh, why do we have to go through this every time?
 Some days you hear it (don't listen, I'll carry you)
 Some days you don't (don't listen, oh no)
 Sometimes you feel it (it's not worth it, help me)
 Sometimes you won't, just calm yourself and breathe
 Don't you pay them any mind
 Don't you pay them any mind
 You know this happens every time
 Now, don't you pay them any mind
 Don't you pay them any mind
 Don't you pay them any mind
 You know this happens every time
 Now, don't you pay them any mind
