Underneath the Sleeve

Verse 1

Black hoodie in the summer heat

Texts I send still left on read

Every mirror shows a stranger's face

I sketch the clouds inside my head

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm just broken

Maybe I was made this way

Maybe all my feelings

Are too heavy to say

Chorus

Call me emo call me cold

I write my tears the way I'm told

Black and blue across the page

I've been drowning at this age

Call me emo I don't care

Nobody knows what I wear underneath

Scars that don't just disappear

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Underneath underneath

Verse 2

Slam the door and turn the lights down low

Painted nails and headphones on

Every lyric feels like home somehow

Crying songs till they're all gone

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm not alright

Maybe I just need to breathe

Maybe all my colors

Faded to the sleeve

Chorus

Call me emo call me cold

I write my tears the way I'm told

Black and blue across the page

I've been drowning at this age

Call me emo I don't care

Nobody knows what I wear underneath

Scars that don't just disappear

Bridge

I'm not looking for your pity

Not begging you to stay

Just let me keep my shadows

On my own little way

Chorus

Call me emo call me cold

I write my tears the way I'm told

Black and blue across the page

I've been drowning at this age

Call me emo I don't care

Nobody knows what I wear underneath

Post-Chorus

Scars that don't just disappear

Underneath underneath
