lyrics

Hair in braids, pleated skirt he likes
And his Chuck 70’s in a smaller size
Getting dressed so that I can rest
Knowing he’s only ever seen me at my best

Talk to Eve three times this week
Says he’s in love but she’s afraid he’ll leave
He tells her she can do no wrong
It only makes her more withdrawn

I had a plan
I knew just where you would land
I played a part
I've lost track where she ends and starts

Countdown the days
Until this false front finally breaks
When it's me you hate
We’ll have the same thought on our brains

Touch my hair, long loving stares
Texts at night to let me know you care
Stomach pit, you make me sick
I’m a liar but I only blame myself for it

Every night I feel possessed
Stare at walls still half undressed
Clothes litter my bedroom floor
It’s you I’m doing all this for

It’s all I see
I watched it fifteen ways in last night's dream
in every scene
The curtain closes and you’re leaving me

I’ll make it easy
Or I’ll wait and see
To keep this act up
Or burst at the seams
