[08:17] because you’re friendly
[16:32] because I look like her her her or her
[12:01] because you don’t know what to do with me
[12:03] because & you want to find out
[09:32] because my face emotes so good
[10:54] because I repeat you back to you
[17:50] because what else are you supposed to do all day?
[08:42] because you could have sworn you’ve seen me wear shorts
[15:36] because my teeth are very white very nice
[15:36] because has anyone ever told you that
[16:00] because everyone is just so mean lately
[07:33] because I animated-heart-reacted in the meeting
[07:43] because I have vocal fry
[22:18] because you can’t say anything anymore
[22:18] because you never thought it’d be like this

[22:19] because I made you feel special

[22:19] because you could make me
[22:19] because you could make me real
