Paper Route (Hurts to Be Loud) - Fallulah

I was a quiet girl growing up

Licking my wounds in the comfort of my bedroom

Like a girl growing up

I was in bloom

Like a flower in a monsoon

Grew up too fast

Grew up top fast

Needed the cash

I’ll be on my paper route

Grew up to fast

Grew up too fast

Gotta make some cash

See you on my paper route

Then one day on the job

There was this dog

It jumped right up and bit me

Through my clothes

Teeth and bone

I was alone

That’s when it hit me

Just bite your tongue

Just bite your tongue

There’s nothing wrong

Crying on the paper route

Just bite your tongue

Just bite your tongue

And carry on

And on and on and oh oh on

My head is on fire

My heart is a liar

Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes

It hurts to be loud sometimes

My head is on fire

My heart is a liar

Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes

It hurts to be loud sometimes

There was this older man by his door

Waiting around with this chocolate to greet me

It was old full of mold

I ate it all so I wouldn’t hurt his feelings

I do my job

I do my job

I keep it up

I’ll be on my paper route

Some day I’m gone

Some day I’m gone

It won’t be long

And on and on and oh oh on

My head is on fire

My heart is a liar

Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes

It hurts to be loud sometimes

My head is on fire

(My head is on fire)

My heart is a liar

(My heart is a liar)

Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes

It hurts to be loud sometimes

There’s a psycho living under my roof

I want him gone but I don’t get to choose

I’m so angry but I keep from screaming

Time’s too slow so I keep on dreaming

Hold it in

Now let it out in the safe zone of your paper route

Hold it in

Now let it out

Cause you’re safe here on your paper route

My route

My route

Oh

My head is on fire

My heart is a liar

Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes

It hurts to be loud sometimes

My head is on fire

(My head is on fire)

My heart is a liar

(My heart is a liar)

Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes

It hurts to be loud sometimes

Hold it in

Now let it out

Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes

Hold it in

Now let it out

Cause it hurts to be loud sometimes
