bedroom artist from Bedroom Artist by Porch Cat

i wrote this song during a time where i felt like hiding away in my bedroom constantly, and was pushing people i loved away. it's about keeping secrets and how that can hurt you. it's also a lot about being chronically ill and spending a lot of time in your bedroom but not knowing how to be honest with people.

***

i don't wanna hang out with you
cause the sky's been really gray
i wish i could explain to you
but I don't know how to say that
sometimes all i can do
is hide inside my bedroom

maybe it makes sense to you
but it don't make sense to me
god i wish that i could start new
and turn out differently
but sometimes all i can do
is hide inside my head

a bedroom artist never tells their secrets
a bedroom artist fills their paint cups with regrets

i love you and i mean it
i swear to god i do
it's alright you don't believe it
i've got nothing to prove
sometimes i don't know how
to let anyone close

i'm sorry that i never called
i've been feeling way too sad
i thought that i'd enjoy the fall
but i've been feeling pretty bad
and sometimes i don't have the words

a bedroom artist never tells their secrets
a bedroom artist fills their paint cups with regrets

it's not my fault oh, tell me that you won't forget
a bedroom artist never tells their secrets
