Dumb & Poetic Lyrics

[Verse 1: Sabrina Carpenter]
You're so dumb and poetic
It's just what I fall for, I like the aesthetic
Every self-help book, you've already read it
Cherry-pick lines like they're words you invented
Gold star for highbrow manipulation
And "love everyone" is your favorite quotation
Try to come off like you're soft and well-spoken
Jack off to lyrics by Leonard Cohen

[Chorus: Sabrina Carpenter]
Don't think you understand
Just 'Cuz you talk like one doesn't make you a man

[Verse 2: Sabrina Carpenter]
You're so sad, there's no communication
But, baby, you put us in this situation
You're running so fast from the hearts that you're breakin'
Save all your breath for your floor meditation
You're so empathetic, you'd make a great wife
And I promise the mushrooms aren't changing your life
Well, you crashed the car and abandoned the wreckage
Fμcκ with my head like it's some kind of fetish

[Chorus: Sabrina Carpenter]
Don't think you understand
Just 'Cuz you act like one doesn't make you a man
Don't think you understand
Just 'Cuz you leave like one doesn't make you a man

The lyrics expose the contradictions in someone who tries to appear deep and sensitive but fails to live up to their own ideals. The song is a mix of frustration and disillusionment, with the narrator recognizing that just because someone knows how to talk the talk, it doesn’t mean they can walk the walk. It’s about the gap between words and actions, and how someone can hide behind intellectualism or pseudo-empathy while avoiding true connection and responsibility.
