(Lyrics):Maggots For Brains - Olivia Rodrigo
[Verse1]
My day was so mundane, I don't think I left the house
Drank a pot of coffee, tried to write, nothing came out
Somehow, it's the weekend, I'm still bored out of my skull
And I went to the party but only on principle
[Pre-Chorus]
Empty, look at me
[Chorus]
I'm a zombie in my body, I'm a train off of the track
I feel dirty, I feel rotten, and the colors are all flat
I'm a sad shell of a woman and I've got maggots for brains
But that's just a thing that happens when my
When my baby goes away
When my baby goes away
He goes away
[Verse2]
Everything feels moldy like the fruit that's in my fridge
And everything that's funny, I wish I could tell to him
And sometimes, at a low point, I even wish for tragedy
'Cause I know he'd come ovеr and take real good care of mе
[Pre-Chorus]
It's so weird, he's not here
[Chorus]
I'm a zombie in my body, I'm a train off of the track
I feel dirty, I feel rotten, and the colors are all flat
I'm a sad shell of a woman and I've got maggots for brains
But that's just a thing that happens when my
When my baby goes away
When my baby goes away
He goes away, oh
[Bridge]
What can I do
But think of you?
But think of you? (But think of you?)
What can I do
But think of you? (All I can do)
But think of you? (But think of)
[Chorus]
I'm a zombie in my body, I'm a train off of the track
I feel dirty, I feel rotten, and the colors are all flat
I'm a sad shell of a woman and I've got maggots for brains
But that's just a thing that happens when my
When my baby goes away
[Post-Chorus]
What can I do (When my baby goes away)
But think of you?
But think of you? (Away, when my baby goes away)
What can I do (When my baby goes away
But think of you?
But think of you? (Away)
