​fairy song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You need to drink water, remember to pray
Eat so you're stronger and live for the day
Speak to your brother, check he's ok
Need to get out more, don't smoke all day


[Chorus]
I know you're sad 'cause someone died
But I'm not gonna sit inside and do nothing


[Verse 2]
Guess when I'm older I'll be able to see
That when it gets colder I care less about me

I should sleep like I promised and brush my hair
Always be honest and that would be fair

[Chorus]
I know it’s hard to comprehend
There's so much things we have to mend
I know you're sad 'cause someone died
But I'm not gonna sit inside and do nothing

[Outro]
Guess that's what you meant
We can still be friends
I'm not with you but
(We'll) make it till the end

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did ​beabadoobee say about "​fairy song"?
Genius Answer

I wanted to make a song that was almost like the Ten Commandments, but my rules. I’ve also always wanted to make something that was very Cibo Matto-inspired. There’s a lyric in it that’s ‘I know you’re sad, because someone died, but I’m not gonna sit inside and do nothing.’ Jacob wrote it after MF DOOM died, because it affected him quite deeply. This song is about not being tied down to anything that makes you feel like shit and just focusing on things that you want to do actively to get better.
