They tell me to be good
To keep to myself
To stop being nosey

Relax, calm down, everything’s ok
That’s what they tell me
But one day everything won’t be ok
And they’ll still say
Calm down, everything’s ok, relax

They tell me to get good grades
To keep up the good work
Or to try harder next time

Relax, calm down, everything’s ok
That’s what they tell me
Again and again

They tell me not to get upset
To stop crying
To not let it get to me

Relax, calm down, everything’s ok
That’s what they tell me
But that’s not all I hear

I hear you’re perfect
And I love you
And that is what
They tell me the most
