Not In The Mood For Good Moods
Verse 1
Let me be grumpy
Let me be grey
You keep your sunshine
On your side of the day
You’ve got blue skies
Gold balloon moods
I’m rain and fog on purpose
I’m not in the mood for good moods
I don’t want “good vibes”
I want snacks and silence
I want my hoodie
And my mild defiance
Don’t ask “what’s wrong?”
Don’t ask “what’s new?”
I’m fine, I’m just allergic
To people like you
Pre-Chorus
Don’t fix it
Don’t spin it
Don’t “look on the bright”
Just let me be dramatic
Until it feels right
Chorus
I’m not in the mood for good moods
Don’t bring me your glitter, don’t bring me your “choose”
Your “live laugh love” is not my religion
I’m in my feelings, that’s my decision
I’m not in the mood for good moods
I want rainy-day energy, comfy bad news
Let me be salty, let me be rude
I’m not in the mood…
Not in the mood for good moods
Verse 2
Don’t hand me a quote
From a calendar page
“Everything happens for a reason”
Yeah? It happens from rage
Don’t tell me to breathe
I am breathing, I’m alive
But I’m doing it angrily
And that’s my vibe
You’ve got “rise and grind”
I’ve got “stay and hide”
You’ve got “manifest”
I’ve got “cancelled inside”
So back up slowly
With your gratitude
Or I will hiss like a feral attitude
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need healing
I need a nap
I need a snack
And a one-person clap
For surviving today
Without losing my mind
And I’m honestly crushing it
In a dark little way, you’ll find
Chorus
I’m not in the mood for good moods
Don’t bring me your sparkle, don’t bring me your news
Your “positive thoughts” cannot pay my tuition
I’m in my emo era, with full permission
I’m not in the mood for good moods
I want petty little peace and my comfort foods
Let me be moody, let me be crude
I’m not in the mood…
Not in the mood for good moods
Bridge
Maybe tomorrow I’ll be sunshine
Maybe I’ll glow
Maybe I’ll hug a stranger
Maybe… I won’t
But right now I’m a thundercloud
With cute shoes
And honestly?
That’s still a mood
So if you love me
Let me stew
Don’t shove your joy
Into my view
I’ll come around
I always do
But not today
Not with you going “Woo!”
Final Chorus
I’m not in the mood for good moods
No toxic positivity in my living room
Your “let’s gooo!” energy is too loud to consume
I’m in my blanket like a villain cartoon
I’m not in the mood for good moods
Let me be cranky, let me be confused
I’ll be okay, I just need a minute
Now please stop smiling…
Before I lose it
