I was nine and talking to God in the shower
I knew he was busy said sorry to bother
but why am I so bad at being pretty like my mother
I wanted to please her
guess I’ve always been a people pleaser pleaser
I tried to be quiet play nice
but I knew I wasn’t doing it right
I cried wiped my eyes and then smiled
because they didn’t know I was living a lie
I don’t know when it happened
but I don’t wanna be your cheer captain
I shouldn’t have called
I know he’s probably busy
and when he fucks me over
I’ll say that I’m sorry
and then I’ll take it off so he says that he wants me
cause I’m a people pleaser
and now he’s doing lines with the boys on a Monday
showed up at my house all strung out like a day late
watch his stupid band at the club
no one else came cause
I’m a people pleaser and I don’t wanna be her
I tried to be quiet play nice
but I knew I wasn’t doing it right
I cried wiped my eyes and then smiled
because they didn’t know I was living a lie
I don’t know when it happened
but I don’t wanna be your cheer captain
How did I let it happen
I don’t wanna be your cheer captain
I was so sad then
I don’t wanna be your cheer captain
wish that I knew than
that I don’t wanna be your cheer captain

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
The “grunge soul” artist draws from influences like Nina Simone, Lianne La Havas, and Kurt Cobian on her new project. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 30, 2023
I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
