INTRO (toy-like, airy) la-la… mm VERSE 1 (cute world, slight crack) bubblegum sky and a plastic sun everything shiny, everyone’s fun i got a sticker heart on my sleeve peel it off, still sticks to me running around in my jelly shoes laugh a little louder than i mean to they say “you’re sweet,” i say “i know” but i feel weird and i don’t show PRE (tiny emotional shift) something’s off but i can’t say it looks perfect anyway CHORUS (super catchy, sad underneath) i got a sticker heart, don’t pull it apart it don’t break but it don’t start i smile big, play my part living in a sticker heart everything bright, everything cute say i’m fine, i tell the truth kinda real but kinda not everything i am is soft VERSE 2 (more awareness creeping in) carousel going round and round same old faces, same old sound i wave back but i don’t feel seen like i’m stuck in a loading screen cotton candy, sugar rush talk too fast, think too much they don’t hear it when i pause little glitch in what i was PRE 2 i don’t cry, i don’t break i just bend a different way CHORUS (fuller, slightly sadder tone) i got a sticker heart, don’t pull it apart it don’t break but it don’t start i smile big, play my part living in a sticker heart everything bright, everything sweet but it don’t feel like it’s me kinda real but kinda not everything i am is soft BRIDGE (stripped, dreamy, sad girl moment) if i peel it back, what’s underneath? is it still me, or just the theme? if i stop smiling, would it stay? or would it all just fade away? FINAL CHORUS (same melody, deeper meaning now) i got a sticker heart in the dark still glowing, still falling apart i play along, i know my part living in a sticker heart everything bright, everything cute i say i’m fine, but it’s not true kinda real but kinda not everything i am… just stops OUTRO (soft, toy-like fade) la-la… peel it off…
