[Verse 1: Ellise]
I got issues that I can't deny
I'm the pretty little victim so I'll cry if I want to
Take a pin and pop all my balloons (Mmm)
[Pre-Chorus: Neoni]
Congratulations
Here's your invitation
I know you've been waiting
I go all out
[Chorus: Neoni]
Welcome to my pity party
If you're here, I'm sorry, sorry
We're just starting
Welcome to my pity party
[Post-Chorus: Neoni]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Welcome to my pity party
[Verse 2: Neoni]
It's a mental breakdown on the playground
Only way out is to slide all the way down
And you think that I do it for the hell of it (Hell of it)
But really, I'm just calling out the elephant (Elephant)
[Pre-Chorus: Ellise]
Congratulations
Here's your invitation
I know you've been waiting
I go all out
[Chorus: Neoni & Ellise]
Welcome to my pity party
If you're here, I'm sorry, sorry
We'rе just starting
Welcome to my pity party (Oh, oh)
[Post-Chorus: Neoni & Ellise]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh (Oh)
Welcomе to my pity party
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh (So wel-)
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh (So welcome to my pity party)
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh (So wel-, so)
Welcome to my pity party
[Outro: Neoni & Ellise]
Pity party
It's a mental breakdown, breakdown-down-down
We're just starting
Welcome to my pity party
Pity party
It's a mental breakdown, breakdown-down-down
We're just starting
Welcome to my pity party
