Canon Event

Lyrics: Helen Tian Music: Helen Tian Arranger: Helen Tian Being controversial is better than forgotten Rather have autonomy than be your darling Sick of being goody-goody little miss sunshine But... I’m still scared of messing up So every time I do I make amends like crazy (I’m so sorry) I don’t wanna be seen as dumb So I run my mouth and talk and talk myself into trouble I'll let the pendulum swing Yeah, it’s a canon event You go from confident to sad And then you come back again Your boss doesn’t get it But she doesn’t have to You stepped on her toes You didn’t cut them all off, no? Like Nate in “Euphoria”, you’ve watched it right? Being controversial’s better than forgotten In the end, we’re gonna end up in a coffin Cliche as hell, but it takes so much work to internalize I’m so scared of messing up So every time I do I make amends like crazy I don’t wanna be seen as dumb So I run my mouth and talk and talk myself into trouble The pendulum swings Yeah, it’s a canon event You let him fk you over But you won’t know it then You’ll take it too far With that timidity and brashness But after you fall You‘ll learn to strike a balance I'll let the pendulum swing Yeah, it’s a canon event You go from confident to sad And then you come back again Your boss doesn’t get it But she doesn’t have to You stepped on her toes You didn’t cut them all off, no? I'll let the pendulum swing Yeah, it’s a canon event You go from confident to sad And then you come back again Your boss doesn’t get it But she doesn’t have to You stepped on her toes You didn’t cut them all off, no? The pendulum swings Yeah, it’s a canon event I let him fk me over But I didn’t know then I took it too far With my timidity and brashness But after I fall I’ll learn to strike a balance (Hey even if I do get fired, at least I’ve got a new song…)
