oh, you don’t ever say too much
all this shit is new to me
i’m damned if i do give a damn what people say
all they keep asking me is if i’m gonna be your bride
the only kinda girl they see is a one-night or a wife
they’re bringing up my history, but you weren’t even listening
how’d we end up on the floor anyway?
how the hell did we lose sight of us again?
ain’t that the way shit always ends
i feel you, no matter what
and i wake with your memory over me
that’s a real fuckin’ legacy to leave
i have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser
midnights become my afternoons
i should not be left to my own devices
one day I’ll watch as you’re leaving ‘cause you got tired of my scheming for the last time
i’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
it must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
sometimes i feel like everybody is a sexy baby and i’m a monster on the hill
did you hear my covert narcissism i disguise as altruism like some kind of congressman?
i have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
she’s laughing up at us from hell!
life is emotionally abusive
time can’t stop me quite like you did
i’m unglued, thanks to you
you wanting me tonight feels impossible
it’s fine to fake it till you make it
can this be a real thing, can it?
i play it cool with the best of them
it’s okay, we’re the best of friends
i touch my phone as if it’s your face
there’s just one who could make me stay all my days
i waited ages to see you there
you’re on your own, kid; you always have been
i picked the petals, he loves me not
i called a taxi to take me there
everything you lose is a step you take
you’ve got no reason to be afraid
i broke his heart ‘cause he was nice
i guess sometimes we all get just what we wanted
i guess sometimes we all get some kind of haunted
i never think of him except on midnights like this
i swear that it was something
i don’t remember who i was before you
i just may like some explanations
can i ask you a question?
did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room
every single one of your friends was making fun of you
did you leave her house in the middle of the night?
did you wish you’d put up more of a fight
do you wish you could still touch her?
i just may like to have a conversation
what’s that that i heard, that you’re still with her?
that’s nice, i’m sure that’s what’s suitable
draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man
you did some bad things, but i’m the worst of them
sometimes i wonder which one will be your last lie
they say looks can kill and i might try
lately i’ve been dressing for revenge
i don’t start shit, but i can tell you how it ends
i’m on my vigilante shit again
i think I’ve been a little too kind
putting someone first only works when you’re in their top five
familiarity breeds contempt
don’t put me in the basement when i want the penthouse of your heart
i think i’ve been too good of a girl
did all the extra credit then got graded on a curve
i think it’s time to teach some lessons
‘it only hurts this much right now,’ was what i was thinking the whole time
i’ll be getting over you my whole life
uh oh, i’m falling in love
you would break your back to make me break a smile
you know how much i hate that everybody just expects me to bounce back just like that
you’re talking shit for the hell of it
you wouldn’t know what i mean
me and karma vibe like that
don’t you know that cash ain’t the only price?
ask me what i learned from all those years
ask me what i earned from all those tears
ask me why so many fade but i’m still here
they said the end is coming
everyone’s up to something
i find myself running home to your sweet nothings
all that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing
on the way home i wrote a poem
to you i can admit hat i’m just too soft for all of it
you and i ended up in the same room at the same time
what if i told you none of it was accidental
i laid the groundwork and then just like clockwork the dominoes cascaded in a line
what if i told you i’m a mastermind?
if you fail to plan, you plan to fail
no one wanted to play with me as a little kid
this is the first time i’ve felt the need to confess
i’m only cryptic and machiavellian ‘cause i care
yeah, all you did was smile
