Ivy

My best friend's obsessive and manic depressive
She makes lots of mistakes, but never learns any lessons
She cried on my shoulder the last time we were together
And said, "I just don't know how to make anything better"
And I said, "I know that it's tempting to regress on your goals
In the medicine section of Essendon Coles"

But just try, just try
Just try, just try

And your boyfriend's abhorrent but you still adore him
Yeah, he treats like you like shit
But you'd still do anything for him
And I said, "I made my rapist a Spotify playlist
When I turned eighteen as my own little birthday gift"
And she said, "Jesus; I can't believe the way that they treat us
I wish they'd all take the time to walk a mile in my Adidas"

And, just try, just try
Just try, just try

And I said, as long as you're trying, that's fine by me
I'm just trying to save you from poison, Ivy

And I know that I'm changing and it might seem strange
And yeah, I understand if you don't want to call me my name
Yeah, it makes me upset, but I try not to let it get to me
I've adjusted to the fact you'll probably never call me Ruby
And that's fine, that's fine
That's fine, that's fine
That's

Just try, just try
Get fucking and just try, just try

And I said, as long as you're trying, that's fine by me
I'm just trying to save you from poison, Ivy
