about

Wallflower is about toxic friends and understanding that you are not selfish or disrespectful for creating boundaries, protecting your peace, and putting yourself first. If someone you know or love repeatedly ignores and breaches these very simple and healthy boundaries that you have become emotionally mature enough to implement, get rid of them from your life. Life is so short and so long, don’t waste it pleasing people who do not value you as your own person and just an asset to their ego and don’t spend your whole life ignoring yourself and your needs, you come into this world and leave it alone. This life is for YOU. Start acting like it.”

lyrics

You seem to really hate me. There’s no rose without a thorn. My existence makes you angry, that’s not my problem anymore. You think you’re poison ivy? You’re just as parasitic. You drain the life from people and still get shocked when they won’t sit and take it.

I’ll have you pushing up the daisies, dead and buried you hear me?

You are no wallflower. Is it fun inside your ivory tower? Wallflower, you’re rotting from the inside out.

I’ll cut you down, I’ll rip you out.
I’ll cut you down, I’ll rip you out.

Darling you’re too faced and far too disloyal, you’re too self-obsessed to see you are the problem. Everyone left but you still take no blame, look and the loneliest mess you have made. I’m so sick and tired of you wiping your feet, on all of my friends and just all over me. You think I’m the issue but you are mistaken. If I’m the bad friend here then you must be satan.

You are no wallflower. Is it fun inside your ivory tower? Wallflower, you’re rotting from the inside out.

I’ll cut you down, I’ll rip you out.
I’ll cut you down, I’ll rip you out.

You seem to really hate me. There’s no rose without a thorn. My existence makes you angry, that’s not my problem anymore. You think you’re poison ivy? You’re just as parasitic. You drain the life from people and still get shocked when they won’t sit and take it.
