F.U. [INTRO — sugary / suspiciously cheerful] Smile. Be nice. Say what they wanna hear. That’s how it works… right? [VERSE 1 — playful, cynical] A smile underneath the lie True colors after a rejection “This is what I want,” they said Like love was some transaction “I’ll be fine.” That’s what I tell myself Waiting at the end of the line Funny how a little “no” Can turn an angel overnight [PRE-CHORUS — darker] I wonder… Did the creator design us like this? Or are the demons Something growing inside of us? We point We laugh We choose somebody to blame Then call ourselves the good ones While we’re doing just the same [CHORUS — explosive / catchy] F.U.! Friendly until I tell you no Friendly until You don’t get what you want Pretty little smile ’Til the colors start to show F.U.! Funny how quickly The kindness goes Was it ever really you? Or just the version You wanted me to know? [VERSE 2 — rhythmic / hip-hop influenced] Stigma is a hobby Oppression for impression Everybody wants applause From validation that doesn’t exist Post it Delete it Try another face Build another fantasy Reality can’t replace We manufacture heaven Just to hate the world we’re in Then wonder why we’re lonely When nobody can get in [PRE-CHORUS 2 — increasingly unstable] I get why we’re addicted To the fantasy Reality gets heavy When it’s everything you see So maybe I should close my eyes Pretend I’m someone else tonight Would that make me happier? Or just easier to like? [CHORUS — bigger] F.U.! Friendly until I tell you no Friendly until You don’t get what you want Pretty little smile ’Til the colors start to show F.U.! Funny how quickly The kindness goes Maybe I’m no different Maybe I’ve just gotten better At hiding it than most [BRIDGE — electronic breakdown / vulnerable] Maybe I should numb myself Turn it down Turn it off Delete whatever hurts Maybe there’s a setting For becoming someone worse [glitching vocal] RESET REWRITE RESTART REPEAT Or maybe I could change The program inside of me [brief silence] …but who wrote it? [FINAL CHORUS — theatrical / chaotic] F.U.! Friendly until The mask comes off Friendly until Nobody’s watching us Maybe we’re all desperate To become somebody’s choice So we smile for validation ‘Til we can’t recognize our voice F.U.! Funny, isn’t it? We blame everybody else For becoming something ugly— While we’re doing it Ourselves. [OUTRO — cute voice / distorted instrumental] Smile. Be nice. Say what they wanna hear. [small laugh] F.U. ♡
