World’s Smallest Violin Song Lyrics by AJR
My grandpa fought in World War IIHe was such a noble dudeI can’t even finish schoolMissed my mom, and left too soon
His dad was a firemanWho fought fires so violentI think I bored my therapistWhile playing him my violin
that’s so insane(Oh, my God) that’s such a shameNext to them, my shit don’t feel so grandBut I can’t help myself from feeling badI kinda feel like two things can be sad (one, two, three, four)
The world’s smallest violinReally needs an audienceSo if I do not find somebody soon (that’s right, that’s right)I’ll blow up into smithereensAnd spew my tiny symphonyJust let me play my violin for you, you, you, you
My grandpa fought in World War IIAnd he was such a noble dudeMan, I feel like such a foolI got so much left to prove
All my friends have vaping friendsThey’re so good at making friеndsI’m so scared of caving inIs that entertaining yеt?
that’s so insane(Oh, my God) that’s such a shameNext to them, my shit don’t feel so grandBut I can’t help myself from feeling badI kinda feel like two things can be sad (one, two, three, four)
The world’s smallest violinReally needs an audienceSo if I do not find somebody soon (that’s right, that’s right)I’ll blow up into smithereensAnd spew my tiny symphonyJust let me play my violin for you, you, you, you
Somewhere in the universeSomewhere someone’s got it worseWish that made it easierWish I didn’t feel the hurt
The world’s smallest violinReally needs an audienceSo if I do not find somebody soon
I’ll blow up into smithereensAnd spew my tiny symphonyAll up and down a city streetWhile tryna put my mind at easeLike finishing this melodyThis feels like a necessitySo this could be the death of meOr maybe just a better me
Now, come in with the timpanisAnd take a shot of HennessyI know I’m not there mentallyBut you could be the remedySo let me play my violin for you
