Big fish Quote by Paramore
“I don't mind Letting you down easy but just give it time If it don't hurt now, but just wait, just wait a while You're not the big fish in the pond no more You are what they're feeding on So what are you gonna do When the world don't orbit around you So what are you gonna do When the world don't orbit around you Ain't it fun Living in the real world Ain't it good Being all alone Where you're from You might be the one who's running things Well you can ring anybody's bell and get what you want See it's easy to ignore trouble When you're living in a bubble So what are you gonna do When the world don't orbit around you So what are you gonna do When nobody wants to fool with you Ain't it fun Living in the real world Ain't it good Being all alone Ain't it good to be on your own Ain't it fun, you can't count on no one Ain't it good to be on your own”
