Lyrics of
Mattie Adams - But Hey

I sit down at your table
I tell my friend, “I’m p unstable.”
You’re listening, but I can’t see
If you’re concerned or unattainable.

But hey! I’ll be okay!
I’ll take the blame for losing this game.
But hey! I don’t have to stay
In the mess I’m in or pretend
Like I’m unphased.
You’re laughing so free and easy
And it murders me to see.
But I’m happy for you, I guess.
I just thought you’d be with me.

But hey! I’ll be okay!
I’ll take the blame for losing this game.
But hey! I don’t have to stay
In the mess I’m in or pretend
Like I’m unphased.
I pass by you in the café.
You give me nod like I’m passe.
I’m laughing so hard at your disregard.
Now I’m healing and finding my way.

But hey! I’ll be okay!
I’ll take the blame for losing this game.
But hey! I don’t have to stay
In the mess I’m in or pretend
Like I’m unphased.

By the way, I guess I’ll see you around.
That’s the bad part of this college town.
By the way, thanks for leaving anyway.
I have the breakthrough to go on my
Am, G, C Dm, G

But hey! I’ll be okay!
I’ll take the blame for losing this game.
But hey! I don’t have to stay
In the mess I’m in or pretend
Like I’m unphased.
I’ll be okay
