all i used to do was pray.

we survived the great war.

we were supposed to be just friends.

karma’s gonna track you down.

i don’t dress for men.

‘cause i care.

i feel you, no matter what.

i told you none of it was accidental.

i vowed i would always be yours.

someone told his white-collar crimes to the fbi.

‘cause it’s all over.

i’m only cryptic and machiavellian.

we were somewhere else.

you handle it beautifully.

let’s dance.

what’s a girl gonna do?

what could’ve been, would’ve been you.

i lost you.

it turned into something bigger.

that’s a real fucking legacy to leave.

do i really have to chart the constellations in his eyes?

you’ve got no reason to be afraid.

did you leave her house in the middle of the night?

i wake up screaming from dreaming.

i’m damned if i do give a damn what people say.

i can’t let this go.

i prefer hiding in plain sight.

i end up in crisis.

my hand was the one you reached for.

checkmate, i couldn’t lose.

you’re talking shit for the hell of it.

every single one of your friends was making fun of you.

draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man.

no one wanted to play with me as a little kid.

you would break your back to make me break a smile.

now that i know, i wish you’d left me wondering.

i hosted parties and starved my body.

i vow i will always be yours.

you said i have to trust more freely.

sadness became my whole sky.

it’s just a question.

i’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror.

it’s like snow at the beach.

there were pages turned with the bridges burned.

if i was a child, did it matter?

what if i told you i’m a mastermind?

i think it’s time to teach some lessons.

i see you every day now.

i’m the wind in our free-flowing sails.

the system’s breaking down.

i keep my side of the street clean.

the jokes weren’t funny.

did some force take you bеcause i didn’t pray?

somewhere in the haze, got a sense i’d been betrayed.

do you wish you could still touch her?

i remember.

a diamond’s gotta shine.

it’s me, hi.

i will always be yours.

maybe it was her.

you know there’s many different ways that you can kill the one you love.

some guy said my aura’s moonstone.

you wouldn’t know what i mean.

he was sunshine, i was midnight rain.

i don’t dress for villains.

we were born to be the pawn.

you were on something.

i saw something they can’t take away.

you’re on your own, kid.

i wake with your memory over me.

if clarity’s in death, then why won’t this die?

yeah, all you did was smile.

yeah, you can face this.

by the way, i’m going out tonight.

you were bigger than the whole sky.

i saw flecks of what could’ve been lights.

pierced through the heart, but never killed.

you said i was freeloading.

how’d we end up on the floor, anyway?

turns out, it was that guy you hooked up with ages ago.

lately, i’ve been dressing’ for revenge.

my pennies made your crown.

he never thinks of me.

did you see the photos?“

i feel the lavender haze creeping up on me.

do i really have to tell you how he brought me back to life?

i just wanna stay.

ain’t that the way shit always ends?

time can’t stop me quite like you did.

i think i’ve been too good of a girl.

did all the extra credit, then got graded on a curve.

i really thought i’d lost you.

saw a wide smirk on your face.

life is emotionally abusive.

don’t get sad, get even.

god rest my soul.

i broke his heart ‘cause he was nice.

i miss you.

i’m on my vigilante shit again.

you’re a crisis of my faith.

seemed like the right thing at the time.

you might have to wait in line.

i could still say, “i don’t remember”.

you should be doing more.

i have this thing where i get older, but just never wiser.

i didn’t choose this town, i dream of getting out.

i just may like some explanations.

i just may like to have a conversation.

they said the end is coming.

we can plant a memory garden.

one day, i’ll watch as you’re leaving.

best believe i’m still bejeweled.

life will lose all its meaning.

we lost track of time again.

it’s okay, we’re the best of friends.

i’d go back to wanting dudes who give nothing.

i think there’s been a glitch.

i’m not even sorry.

you know how scared i am of elevators.

sometimes i wonder which one’ll be your last lie.

i was taken by the view.

karma’s a relaxing thought.

can i ask you a question?

it’s fine to fake it 'til you make it.

it must be counterfeit.

i’m unglued, thanks to you.

maybe it was egos swinging.

that’s nice, i’m sure that’s what’s suitable.

she’s laughing up at us from hell.

you should find another.

he wanted it comfortable, i wanted that pain.

i can still make the whole place shimmer.

diesel is desire, you were playing with fire.

this is the first time i’ve felt the need to confess.

no one sees when you lose when you’re playing solitaire.

'cause i’m a mastermind.

they’re bringing up my history.

you don’t ever say too much.

now that i’m grown, i’m scared of ghosts.

i could’ve gone on as i was.

putting someone first only works when you’re in their top five.

i’ve never seen someone lit from within.

i don’t dress for friends.

there’s no morning glory, it was war, it wasn’t fair.

i play it cool with the best of them.

sit quiet by my side in the shade.

never trust it if it rises fast.

i touch my phone as if it’s your face.

addicted to betrayal, but you’re relevant.

i chose you.

i never think of him.

this happens all the time.

you got tired of my scheming.

i knew i wanted your body.

but for him, it’s every day.

it might just have been you.

she needed cold, hard proof, so i gave her some.

i fight with you in my sleep.

i don’t remember who i was.

ladies know what people want.

ladies always rise above.

that means you did it right.

you don’t have to answer.

i think i’ve been a little too kind.

i’m so in love that i might stop breathing.

i gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this.

everything you lose is a step you take.

maybe it’s the past that’s talking.

get it off your chest.

all the stars aligned.

it can’t last.

we almost forgot it.

it only hurts this much right now.

i’ve got a lot to pine about.

did you hear my covert narcissism i disguise as altruism?

pick somewhere and just run.

i vowed not to fight anymore.

the wound won’t close.

i’ve got a lot to live without.

make sure you don’t miss.

you and i ended up in the same room.

i picked the petals, he loves me not.

meet me at midnight.

ask me what i learned from all those years.

i swear that it was something.

all the outfits were terrible.

it must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero.

i’ll be gettin’ over you my whole life.

it’s all over now, all out to sea.

i’d pay if you’d just know me.

no deal.

i waited ages to see you there.

i regret you all the time.

all that you ever wanted from me was nothing.

i made you my world, have you heard?

now you’re mine.

every single thing i touch becomes sick with sadness.

i don’t even dare to wish it.

to you, i can admit that i’m just too soft for all of it.

that was the night i nearly lost you.

i’m the problem, it’s me.

i thought the plane was going down.

every single thing to come has turned into ashes.

so i justified it.

i wrote a poem.

we will never go back.

you tried to erase us.

tonight feels impossible.

i have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money.

you wouldn’t take my word for it if you knew who was talking.

he was sunshine, i was midnight rain.

aren’t you envious that for you it’s not?

give me back my girlhood, it was mine first.

i bent the truth too far tonight.

my town was a wasteland.

you were more than just a short time.

you should find another.

she looks so pretty.

he wanted a bride, i was making my own name.

they said the end is coming.

can this be a real thing?

did you wish you’d put up more of a fight?

i took the money.

if you never touched me, i would’ve.

i should not be left to my own devices.

the god’s honest truth is that the pain was heaven.

you knew the entire time.

i find myself running home to your sweet nothings.

i damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil.

never take advice from someone who’s falling apart.

i polish up nice.

you can try to change my mind.

my friends from home don’t know what to say.

you don’t live in my part of town, but maybe i’ll see you out some weekend.

she thinks i left them in the will.

you made me feel important.

i wanna brainwash you.

i’m a monster on the hill.

i’m falling in love again.

i’ll run away.

don’t put mе in the basement.

me and karma vibe like that.

i miss who i used to be.

midnights become my afternoons.

get it off my desk.

picture me, thick as thieves, with your ex-wife.

i keep on waiting for a sign.

i don’t dress for women.

memories feel like weapons.

i’m fastening myself to you with a stitch.

i been under scrutiny.

then what did you do?

we had one thing going on.

my flight was awful, thanks for asking.

i find it dizzying.

all of me changed like midnight.

you weren’t even listening.

what could’ve been, would’ve been.

she was on your mind with some dickhead guy.

everybody just expects me to bounce back.

it’s coming back around.

i’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since.

i spy with my little tired eye..

do you really wanna know where i was april 29th?

i don’t start shit, but i can tell you how it ends.

i thought we had no chance.

ask me what i earned from all those tears.

i hear it in your voice, you’re smoking with your boys.

all this shit is new to me.

you knew that i’m a mastermind.

had to do it this way.

if i’d only played it safe.

romance is not dead if you keep it just yours.

it only feels this raw right now.

nothing was gonna stop me.

was what i was thinking the whole time?

i can’t speak, afraid to jinx it.

they say looks can kill and i might try.

you did some bad things, but i’m the worst of them.

do i really have to chart the constellations in his eyes?

it’s never enough.

but for some, it was paradise.

i didn’t know you were keeping count.

everyone’s up to something.

there’s many different ways that you can kill the one you love.

i vowed not to cry anymore.

what if i told you none of it was accidental?

how the hell did we lose sight of us again?

it was one drink after another.

i would’ve stayed on my knees.

don’t you know that cash ain’t the only price?

big city, wrong choices.

living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts.
