as usual, i let someone else do the talking

[evergleam]

My two favorite verses from one of my favorite songs ever.


everything i do is judged
and they mostly get it wrong
but the bathroom mirror has not budged
and the woman who lives there can tell
the truth from the stuff that they say
she looks me in the eye
and says would you prefer the easy way?
no, well okay then
don't cry

i wonder if everything i do
i do instead
of something i want to do more
the question fills my head
and i know there's no grand plan here
this is just the way it goes
when everything else seems unclear
i guess at least i know
i do it for the joy it brings
because i am a joyful girl
because the world owes me
nothing
we owe each other the world
i do it because it's the least i can do
i do it because i learned it from you
i do it because i want to
do i want to?
