[Verse 1]
B C#m
I was too young to see the truth
B C#m
In my grandma’s lap, I’m drowning in her perfume
B C#m
Too naive to even care
B C#m
‘Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair

If you need a break, someone’ll take your place

People gonna try

To tell you that you’re fine with dollars in their eyes (Just remember)

Don’t let them fck you, honey, no, oh

If you need a break, someone’ll take your place
