Clairo - favoritism lyrics

favoritism by clairo
all creds to clairo

lyrics:
i was in love for the second time
she told me not to lie
you said “honey I can sense that you’re struggling to find out what happened to you”
im touring alone, with nothing to lose
cried myself to sleep that night
i havent wrapped my head around it
maybe I should think about
your hands on my sides
my shirt lost to wine
when I turned around and said “I can’t believe you like me-”
when I turned around and said “I can’t believe you like me better than the rest” x2
turns out kissing someone older doesn’t mean there’s gonna be a lesson attached
say I'm mature for my age, but there’s a bed to be made
why don’t you lie in it?
swear I’ll take this one to my grave,
and nothing’s gonna change,
a man is the same as a child, writing stories of when they become king and learn to take everything.
when I turned around and said “I can’t believe you like me better than the rest” x2
oh, better than the rest.

[ayestar]

why are artist best songs always the unreleased ones

[gommadre]

she just decide to write one of the best songs in the entire world and dont release it

[discurage]

my nights always lead back to this song.

[kyluvsgyu]

i come back to this every week i really need her to release this

[no]

I listened to this song on repeat the night i got together with my first love and never listened to it again even after we broke up
Its been almost 3 years i think listening to this just made me nostalgic

[derricktiffin]

This song makes me run a million miles around my head.

Thank you.

[brielslovak]

Some nights when I can't sleep I think I'd like to just hop on the empty express way at 4 am and just drive and drive till I do fall asleep.

[isabellaquadros]

listening to this again almost a year after i discovered it and oh

[sope]

It's so beautifull and soothing 💜

[aliviastenulson]

me and my gf have been together 1 year and five months today and this song always reminds me of her

[ninaminalinabina]

I'm so sad this got removed from spotify

[BigJam]

This song has to be about someone she doesn’t want to put on a pedestal anymore

[lucykfm]

I was in love for the second time
She told me not to lie
You said, honey, I can sense that you're
Struggling to find out what happened to you
On tour and alone with nothing to lose
Cried myself to sleep that night
I haven't wrapped my head around it
Maybe I should think about
Your hands on my sides, my shirt lost to wine

[Chorus]
When I turned around and said
"I can't believe you like me"
When I turned around and said
"I can't believe you like me better than the rest"
When I turnеd around and said
"I can't believe you likе me better than the rest"

[Verse 2]
Turns out kissing someone older
Doesn't mean there's gonna be a lesson attached
Say, I'm mature for my age
But there's a bed to be made, why don't you lie in it?
Swear I'll take this one to my grave
And nothing's gonna change
Oh man, it is the same
There's a child writing stories of when they become king
And learn to take everything

[Chorus]
When I turned around and said
"I can't believe you like me better than the rest"
When I turned around and said
"I can't believe you like me better than the rest"
Oh, better than the rest

[Blue-ywgb]

i never associated my previous partner with this song because i know it’s not about a healthy relationship. but now i think i will. the amount of times their hands were on my sides and we just laid there while i poured my heart out in disbelief that they chose me, but they shouldn’t have. i know you’re going to stay the same, i know this is going to happen again. for someone who was “never happy”, you were very open to accepting everything i wanted to do for you.
i’m not going to miss it now that i know the truth.

[lunarenvy]

reminds me of her, and it’s funny because she always said everything reminds me of her. it’s something i can’t seem to avoid. i loved all of it, just like she once told me in present tense. now it’s all past tense, her and i included

[Alternative-rr]

So she won't release this ???? Damn😞

[megan]

that guy who commented ab how this song reminds me of his gf (in a sweet way) is wild since this song is about a being groomed

[winterhope]

every time someone brings up clairo, im like "have you heard of this unreleased song!?"

[ampandao]

y’all this song is abt her therapist grooming her
