Waving homecoming queens, marching band playing That someday we're gonna (win)
I'm lost in the lights
American glory faded before me
Now I'm feeling hopeless, ripped up my prom dress
It's you and me, that's my whole world
Running through rose thorns, I saw the scoreboard
They whisper in the hallway: She's a bad, bad girl
And ran for my life (ah)
Oh, I just thought you should know (you should know)
It's you and me, there's nothing like this (like this)
Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (okay)
No cameras catch my pageant smile We're so sad, we paint the town blue (paint it blue)

To see you there, to see you there
It's been a long time coming, but

We're so sad, we paint the town blue
They whisper in the hallway: She's a bad, bad girl
Voted most likely to run away with you
She's a bad, bad girl

My team is losing, battered and bruising

I see the high fives between the bad guys
Leave with my head hung, you are the only one
Who seems to care
American stories burning before me
I'm feeling helpless, the damsels are depressed
Boys will be boys then, where are the wise men?
Darling, I'm scared (ah)

No cameras catch my muffled cries

I counted days, I counted miles
To see you there, to see you there
And now the storm is coming, but

It's you and me, that's my whole world

They whisper in the hallway: She's a bad, bad girl (okay)
The whole school is rolling fake dice

Cruel Summer
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night Said I'm fine, but it wasn't true
You know that I caught it (oh, yeah, you're right, I I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
want it) And I snuck in through the garden gate
Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price Every night that summer, just to seal my fate (oh)
You know that I bought it (oh, yeah, you're right, I And I screamed for whatever it's worth
want it) I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
He looks up, grinning like a devil

Killing me slow, out the window

I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below And it's new, the shape of your body
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes It's blue, the feeling I've got
What doesn't kill me makes me want you more And it's ooh, whoa oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
And it's new, the shape of your body No rules in breakable heaven
It's blue, the feeling I've got But ooh, whoa oh
And it's ooh, whoa oh It's a cruel summer
It's a cruel summer With you
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa oh I'm drunk in the back of the car
It's a cruel summer And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
With you Said I'm fine, but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Hang your head low in the glow of the vending Every night that summer, just to seal my fate (oh)
machine And I screamed for whatever it's worth
I'm not dying (oh, yeah, you're right, I want it) I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
You say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We're not trying (oh, yeah, you're right, I want it)

So cut the headlights, summer's a knife

I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know

Oh, it's new, the shape of your body

It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa oh
It's a cruel summer
With you
The Man
I'm drunk in the back of the car I would be complex, I would be cool
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh) They'd say I played the field before I found someone
to commit to I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
And that would be okay for me to do Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man (you
Every conquest I had made would make me more of a know that)
boss to you And I'm so sick of them coming at me again (coming
at me again)
'Cause if I was a man (if I was a man)
I'd be a fearless leader Then I'd be the man (then I'd be the man)
I'd be an alpha type
When everyone believes ya
What's that like? I'm so sick of running as fast as I can (as fast as I can)
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man (hey)
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again (coming
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can at me again)
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man 'Cause if I was a man (if I was a man), then I'd be the
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again man
'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man I'd be the man
I'd be the man I'd be the man (oh)
I'd be the man I'd be the man (yeah)
I'd be the man (I'd be the man)

They'd say I hustled, put in the work

They wouldn't shake their heads and question how If I was a man, then I'd be the man
much of this I deserve
What I was wearing, if I was rude
Could all be separated from my good ideas and
power moves

And they would toast to me, oh, let the players play
I'd be just like Leo in Saint Tropez

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can

Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man

I'd be the man

I'd be the man

What's it like to brag about raking in dollars and

getting bitches and models? You Need To Calm Down
And it's all good if you're bad
And it's okay if you're mad You are somebody that I don't know
If I was out flashing my dollars, I'd be a bitch not a But you're taking shots at me like it's Patrón
baller And I'm just like: Damn
They'd paint me out to be bad It's 7 AM
So, it's okay that I'm mad
Say it in the street, that's a knock-out And we see you over there on the internet
But you say it in a tweet, that's a cop-out Comparing all the girls who are killing it
And I'm just like: Hey But we figured you out, we all know now
Are you okay? We all got crowns
You need to calm down

And I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression

But I've learned a lesson that stressing and obsessing Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
'bout somebody else is no fun You need to calm down (you need to calm down)
And snakes and stones never broke my bones You're being too loud (you're being too loud)
And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
(oh)
So oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh You need to just stop (can you stop?)
You need to calm down Like, can you just not step on our gowns?
You're being too loud You need to calm down
And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
(oh)
You need to just stop
Like, can you just not step on my gown?
You need to calm down

You are somebody that we don't know

But you're coming at my friends like a missile
Why are you mad
When you could be GLAAD? (You could be GLAAD)

Sunshine on the street at the parade

But you would rather be in the dark ages
Making that sign
Must've taken all night

You just need to take several seats and then try to

restore the peace
And control your urges to scream about all the
people you hate
'Cause shade never made anybody less gay

So oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Lover
We could leave the Christmas lights up till January
You need to calm down
This is our place, we make the rules
You're being too loud
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about
And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
you, dear
(oh)
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?
You need to just stop
Can I go where you go?
Like, can you just not step on his gown?
You need to calm down
Can we always be this close, forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my Lover
We could let our friends crash in the living room Who could ever leave me, darling?
This is our place, we make the call But who could stay?
And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you
Dark side, I search for your dark side
wants you
But what if I'm all right, right, right, right here?
I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want
And I cut off my nose just to spite my face
'em all Then I hate my reflection for years and years
Can I go where you go? I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost
Can we always be this close, forever and ever? The room is on fire, invisible smoke
And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and And all of my heroes died all alone
ever) Help me hold on to you
You're my, my, my, my Lover I've been the archer
I've been the prey
Screaming: Who could ever leave me, darling?
Ladies and gentlemen, will you, please, stand?
But who could stay?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover (I see right through me, I see right through me)
My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue 'Cause they see right through me
All's well that ends well to end up with you They see right through me
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover They see right through
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me Can you see right through me?
And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover They see right through
They see right through me
Can I go where you go?
I see right through me
Can we always be this close, forever and ever?
I see right through me
And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and All the king's horses, all the king's men
ever) Couldn't put me together again
You're my, my, my, my 'Cause all of my enemies started out friends
Oh, you're my, my, my, my Help me hold on to you
Darling, you're my, my, my, my I've been the archer
Lover I've been the prey
Who could ever leave me, darling?
But who could stay?

Who could stay?
Who could stay?

You could stay

Combat, I'm ready for combat

The Archer Fearless

Combat, I'm ready for combat There's something about the way
I say I don't want that, but what if I do? The street looks when it's just rained
'Cause cruelty wins in the movies There's a glow off the pavement
I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to You walk me to the car
you And you know I want to ask you to dance right there
Easy they come, easy they go In the middle of the parking lot, yeah
I jump from the train, I ride off alone Oh, yeah
I never grew up, it's getting so old
Help me hold on to you We're drivin' down the road
I've been the archer I wonder if you know
I've been the prey I'm trying so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool And I was crying on the staircase
Run your hands through your hair Begging you: Please, don't go
Absentmindedly makin' me want you And I said: Romeo, take me somewhere we can be
alone
And I don't know how it gets better than this
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, Fearless
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance It's a love story, baby, just say yes
In a storm in my best dress, Fearless So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So baby, drive slow So close your eyes
Till we run out of road Escape this town for a little while, uh, oh
In this one-horse town
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
I want to stay right here
And my daddy said: Stay away from Juliet
In this passenger seat
You put your eyes on me But you were everything to me
In this moment now, capture it, remember it I was begging you: Please, don't go
And I said: Romeo, take me somewhere we can be
'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this alone
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, Fearless I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance It's a love story, baby, just say yes
In a storm in my best dress, Fearless
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
Well, you stood there with me in the doorway
This love is difficult, but it's real
My hands shake, I'm not usually this way, but Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
You pull me in and I'm a little more brave It's a love story, baby, just say yes
It's a first kiss, it's flawless, really something Oh, oh
It's fearless I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this My faith in you was fading
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, Fearless
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said: Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, Fearless I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, Fearless And said: Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be
alone
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance I love you and that's all I really know
In a storm in my best dress,Fearless
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

Love Story You Belong with Me

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
We were both young when I first saw you
She's going off about something that you said
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm standing there
I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night
On a balcony in summer air
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
And she'll never know your story like I do
See you make your way through the crowd
And say: Hello
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
Little did I know
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
And my daddy said: Stay away from Juliet
That what you're looking for has been here the whole Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
time All this time how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me
If you could see that I'm the one who understands You belong with me
you You belong with me
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me You belong with me
You belong with me
Walking in the streets with you and your worn-out
jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole

town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you
down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers

She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole
time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands
you

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
All this time how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Oh, I remember you driving to my house

In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
‘tis the damn season
When you know you're about to cry If I wanted to know who you were hanging with
I know your favorite songs While I was gone, I would've asked you
And you tell me about your dreams It's the kind of cold fogs up windshield glass
Think I know where you belong But I felt it when I passed you
Think I know it's with me There's an ache in you put there by the ache in me
But if it's all the same to you
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? It's the same to me
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
So we could call it even Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
You could call me Babe for the weekend Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
'Tis the damn season, write this down We could just ride around
I'm stayin' at my parents' house And the road not taken looks real good now
And the road not taken looks real good now And it always leads to you and my hometown
And it always leads to you and my hometown

It always leads to you and my hometown

I parkеd my car right between the Methodist
And thе school that used to be ours
The holidays linger like bad perfume
You can run, but only so far
I escaped it too, remember how you watched me
leave
But if it's okay with you
It's okay with me

We could call it even

You could call me Babe for the weekend
'Tis the damn season, write this down
I'm stayin' at my parents' house
And the road not taken looks real good now
Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
We could just ride around
And the road not taken looks real good now
And it always leads to you and my hometown

Sleep in half the day just for old times' sake

I won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay
So I'll go back to L.A. and the so-called friends
Who'll write books about me, if I ever make it
And wonder about the only soul who can tell which
smiles I'm fakin'
And the heart I know I'm breakin' is my own

To leave the warmest bed I've ever known

We could call it even willow
Even though I'm leavin' I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night
And I'll be yours for the weekend Rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife
'Tis the damn season And if it was an open-shut case
I never would have known from the look on your face
Lost in your current like a priceless wine
We could call it even
You could call me Babe for the weekend
'Tis the damn season, write this down The more that you say, the less I know
I'm stayin' at my parents' house Wherever you stray, I follow
And the road not taken looks real good now
I'm begging for you to take my hand I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man Wreck my plans, that's my man

Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind Hey, that's my man
Head on the pillow, I can feel you sneakin' in That's my man
As if you are a mythical thing Yeah, that's my man
Like you were a trophy or a champion ring Every bait-and-switch was a work of art
And there was one prize I'd cheat to win That's my man
Hey, that's my man
I'm begging for you to take my hand
The more that you say, the less I know Wreck my plans, that's my man
Wherever you stray, I follow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man

Life was a willow, and it bent right to your wind

They count me out time and time again
Life was a willow, and it bent right to your wind
But I come back stronger than a '90s trend

Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
Now this is an open-shut case
I guess I should've known from the look on your face
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art

The more that you say, the less I know

Wherever you stray, I follow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man
marjorie
Never be so kind
The more that you say, the less I know You forget to be clever
Wherever you stray, I follow Never be so clever
I'm begging for you to take my hand You forget to be kind
Wreck my plans, that's my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow And if I didn't know better
I'd think you were talking to me now
If I didn't know better What died didn't stay dead
I'd think you were still around What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, you're alive in my head
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead You're alive, so alive
You're alive, you're alive in my head
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead And if I didn't know better
You're alive, so alive I'd think you were singing to me now
If I didn't know better
I'd think you were still around
Never be so politе I know better
You forget your power But I still feel you all around
Nevеr wield such power I know better
You forget to be polite But you're still around

And if I didn't know better

I'd think you were listening to me now
If I didn't know better
I'd think you were still around

What died didn't stay dead

What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, you're alive in my head
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, so alive

The autumn chill that wakes me up

You loved the amber skies so much
Long limbs and frozen swims
You'd always go past where our feet could touch
And I complained the whole way there
The car ride back and up the stairs

I should've asked you questions

I should've asked you how to be
Asked you to write it down for me
champagne problems
You booked the night train for a reason
Should've kept every grocery store receipt
So you could sit there in this hurt
'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me
Bustling crowds or silent sleepers
Watched as you signed your name Marjorie
You're not sure which is worse
All your closets of backlogged dreams
Because I dropped your hand while dancing
And how you left them all to me
Left you out there standing
Crestfallen on the landing
Champagne problems
Your mom's ring in your pocket
My picture in your wallet If it's all in my head, tell me now
Your heart was glass, I dropped it Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
Champagne problems I know my love should be celebrated
You told your family for a reason But you tolerate it
You couldn't keep it in
Your sister splashed out on the bottle I greet you with a battle hero's welcome
Now no one's celebrating I take your indiscretions all in good fun
Dom Perignon, you brought it I sit and listеn
No crowd of friends applauded I polish plates until they gleam and glistеn
Your hometown skeptics called it You're so much older and wiser and I
Champagne problems
You had a speech, you're speechless I wait by the door like I'm just a kid
Love slipped beyond your reaches Use my best colors for your portrait
And I couldn't give a reason Lay the table with the fancy shit
Champagne problems And watch you tolerate it
Your Midas touch on the Chevy door If it's all in my head, tell me now
November flush and your flannel cure Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
This dorm was once a madhouse I know my love should be celebrated
I made a joke: Well, it's made for me But you tolerate it
How evergreen, our group of friends
Don't think we'll say that word again While you were out building other worlds, where was
And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls I?
That we once walked through Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my
One for the money, two for the show barbed wire?
I never was ready so I watch you go I made you my temple, my mural, my sky
Sometimes you just don't know the answer Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life
Till someone's on their knees and asks you Drawing hearts in the byline
She would've made such a lovely bride Always taking up too much space or time
What a shame she's fucked in the head, they said You assume I'm fine, but what would you do if I
But you'll find the real thing instead
She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred Break free and leave us in ruins
And hold your hand while dancing Took this dagger in me and removed it
Never leave you standing Gain the weight of you then lose it
Crestfallen on the landing Believe me, I could do it
With champagne problems If it's all in my head, tell me now
Your mom's ring in your pocket Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
Her picture in your wallet I know my love should be celebrated
You won't remember all my But you tolerate it
Champagne problems I sit and watch you
You won't remember all my
Champagne problems
...Ready For It?
Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him
tolerate it Wondered how many girls he had loved and left
I sit and watch you reading with your head low haunted
I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom
I sit and watch you Holding him for ransom, some
I notice everything you do or don't do Some boys are trying too hard, he don't try at all,
You're so much older and wiser and I though
Younger than my exes but he act like such a man, so
I wait by the door like I'm just a kid I see nothing better, I keep him forever
Use my best colors for your portrait Like a vendetta-ta
Lay the table with the fancy shit
And watch you tolerate it
I-I-I see how this is gon' go I-Island breeze and lights down low

In the middle of the night, in my dreams

You should see the things we do, baby, hm
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you, so I take my time
Are you ready for it?
Ooh
Are you ready for it?

Baby, let the games begin

Let the games begin
Let the games begin Delicate

Let the games begin My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me
We can't make

Touch me and you'll never be alone But you can make me a drink
Dive bar on the East Side, where you at? 'Cause I know that it's delicate
Phone lights up my nightstand in the black (Delicate)
Come here, you can meet me in the back Is it cool that I said all that?
Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you Is it too soon to do this yet?
Oh, damn, never seen that color blue 'Cause I know that it's delicate
Just think of the fun things we could do

Isn't it, isn't it, isn't it? Isn't it?

('Cause I like you) Isn't it, isn't it, isn't it? Isn't it delicate?
This ain't for the best
My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me Sometimes, I wonder: When you sleep
(Yeah, I want you) Are you ever dreaming of me?
We can't make Sometimes, when I look into your eyes
Any promises now, can we, babe? I pretend you're mine, all the damn time
But you can make me a drink

('Cause I like you)

Is it cool that I said all that? Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you're in my head? Is it chill that you're in my head?
'Cause I know that it's delicate 'Cause I know that it's delicate
(Delicate) (Delicate)
Is it cool that I said all that? (Yeah, I want you)
Is it too soon to do this yet? Is it cool that I said all that?
'Cause I know that it's delicate Is it too soon to do this yet?
'Cause I know that it's delicate
(Delicate)
Isn't it, isn't it, isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it, isn't it, isn't it? Isn't it delicate?
('Cause I like you)
Is it cool that I said all that? (Isn't it?)
Third floor on the West Side, me and you Is it chill that you're in my head? (Isn't it, isn't it?)
Handsome, you're a mansion with a view 'Cause I know that it's delicate
Do the girls back home touch you like I do? (Isn't it delicate?)
Long night with your hands up in my hair (Yeah, I want you)
Echoes of your footsteps on the stairs Is it cool that I said all that? (Isn't it?)
Stay here, honey, I don't wanna share Is it too soon to do this yet? (Isn't it, isn't it?)
'Cause I know that it's delicate
Isn't it delicate?
('Cause I like you)
This ain't for the best
Don't Blame Me
My reputation's never been worse, so
Don't blame me, love made me crazy
You must like me for me
If it doesn't, you ain't doing it right
(Yeah, I want you)
Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
We can't make
I'll be using for the rest of my life
Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink

I've been breaking hearts a long time

And toying with them older guys
Is it cool that I said all that?
Just playthings for me to use
Is it chill that you're in my head?
Something happened for the first time
In the darkest little paradise Trip of my life (oh)
Shaking, pacing, I just need you Every time you're, every time you're touching me
You're touching me
Every time you're, every time you're loving me
For you, I would cross the line
I would waste my time
I would lose my mind Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
They say: She's gone too far this time I'll be using for the rest of my life
(Using for the rest of my life, oh)

Don't blame me, love made me crazy

If it doesn't, you ain't doing it right Don't blame me, love made me crazy
Lord, save me, my drug is my baby If it doesn't, you ain't doing it right (doing it right)
I'll be using for the rest of my life Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'll be using for the rest of my life (oh)

Don't blame me, love made me crazy

If it doesn't, you ain't doing it right Don't blame me, love made me crazy

I'll be using for the rest of my life right)
Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'll be using for the rest of my life
My name is whatever you decide
And I'm just gonna call you mine
I'm insane, but I'm your baby I get so high (oh)
Echoes of your name inside my mind Every time you're, every time you're loving me
Halo, hiding my obsession You're loving me
I once was poison ivy, but now I'm your daisy Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'll be using for the rest of my life

And, baby, for you, I would fall from grace

Just to touch your face
If you walk away
I'd beg you on my knees to stay

Don't blame me, love made me crazy

If it doesn't, you ain't doing it right
Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'll be using for the rest of my life Look What You Made Me Do
I don't like your little games
Don't like your tilted stage
Don't blame me, love made me crazy The role you made me play
If it doesn't, you ain't doing it right Of the fool, no, I don't like you
Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'll be using for the rest of my life
I don't like your perfect crime
How you laugh when you lie
I get so high (oh) You said the gun was mine
Every time you're, every time you're loving me Isn't cool, no, I don't like you (oh!)
You're loving me

Look what you made me do There I was again tonight
Look what you just made me do Forcing laughter, faking smiles

Ooh, look what you made me do Walls of insincerity
Look what you made me do Shifting eyes and vacancy
Look what you just made me do Vanished when I saw your face
Look what you just made me do

All I can say is it was

I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me Enchanting to meet you
I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams
I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me
Your eyes whispered: Have we met? This is me praying that
'Cross the room your silhouette
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts This was the very first page
Counter all your quick remarks like Not where the storyline ends
Passing notes in secrecy My thoughts will echo your name
Until I see you again
These are the words I held back
And it was Enchanting to meet you As I was leaving too soon
All I can say is I was I was enchanted to meet you
Enchanted to meet you

Please, don't be in love with someone else

This night is sparkling Please, don't have somebody waiting on you
Don't you let it go Please, don't be in love with someone else
I'm wonderstruck Please, don't have somebody waiting on you (oh)
Blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever
Wondering if you knew This night is sparkling
I was enchanted to meet you Don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck
Blushing all the way home
The lingering question kept me up I'll spend forever
2 AM, who do you love? Wondering if you knew
I wonder till I'm wide awake
And now I'm pacing back and forth
Wishing you were at my door, I'd This night is flawless
Open up and you would say Don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck
Dancing around all alone
Hey, it was enchanting to meet you I'll spend forever
All I know is I was Wondering if you knew
Enchanted to meet you I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, Don't you let it go Please, don't be in love with someone else
I'm wonderstruck Please, don't have somebody waiting on you
Blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever Long Live
Wondering if you knew I said: Remember this moment
In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
This night is flawless The crowds in stands went wild
Don't you let it go We were the kings and the queens
I'm wonderstruck And they read off our names
Dancing around all alone The night you danced like you knew our lives
I'll spend forever Would never be the same
Wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
You held your head like a hero
On a history book page
It was the end of a decade If you have children someday
But the start of an age When they point to the pictures
Please, tell 'em my name

Long live the walls we crashed through

How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you Tell 'em how the crowds went wild
I was screaming: Long live all the magic we made Tell 'em how I hope they shine
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered
Long live the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life with you
I said: Remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines Long, long live the walls we crashed through
Wishing for right now How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
We are the kings and the queens And I was screaming: Long live all the magic we made
You traded your baseball cap for a crown And bring on all the pretenders
When they gave us our trophies I'm not afraid
And we held them up for our town

Singing: Long live all the mountains we moved

And the cynics were outraged I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
Screaming: This is absurd And long, long live that look on your face
'Cause, for a moment, a band of thieves And bring on all the pretenders
In ripped up jeans got to rule the world One day, we will be remembered

Long live the walls we crashed through

How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming: Long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid

Long live all the mountains we moved

I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming: Long live that look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
22
It feels like a perfect night
One day, we will be remembered
To dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our exes
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
It feels like a perfect night
May these memories break our fall
For breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Will you take a moment?
Promise me this Yeah
That you'll stand by me forever We're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same
But if, God forbid, fate should step in time
And force us into a goodbye It's miserable and magical
Oh, yeah (It feels like one of those nights)
Tonight's the night when we forget about the We ditch the whole scene
deadlines (It feels like one of those nights)
It's time, oh, oh We won't be sleeping

Back Together
If you keep me next to you
I remember when we broke up, the first time
Saying: This is it, I’ve had enough! ‘Cause, like
You don't know about me
We hadn’t seen each other in a month
But I'll bet you want to
When you said you needed space (what?)
Everything will be alright
If we just keep dancing like we're
Twenty-two, ooh, ooh
Twenty-two, ooh, ooh, ooh Then you come around again and say: Baby
(I don't know about you) I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me
Remember how that lasted for a day?

I was in your sights
Getting back together
You got me alone
You found me
You found me
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
You found me
Ooh, yeah, oh, oh, oh
I guess you didn't care
And I guess I liked that
I used to think that we were forever, ever And when I fell hard
And I used to say: Never say never You took a step back
Without me
Without me
Without me
And he's long gone when he's next to me Oh, oh (yeah)
And I realize the blame is on me Trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been And the saddest fear
'Till you put me down, oh Comes creeping in
That you never loved me
Or her, or anyone, or anything
I knew you were trouble when you walked in Yeah!
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Oh, oh So shame on me now
Trouble, trouble, trouble Flew me to places I'd never been (I'd never been)
Oh, oh 'Till you put me down, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble

No apologies I knew you were trouble when you walked in

He'll never see you cry So shame on me now
Pretend he doesn't know Flew me to places I'd never been
That he's the reason why Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
You're drowning
You're drowning
You're drowning
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
And I heard you moved on
Oh, oh
From whispers on the street
Trouble, trouble, trouble
A new notch in your belt
Is all I'll ever be
And now I see
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Now I see
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Now I see
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
He was long gone when he met me
Trouble, trouble, trouble
And I realize the joke is on me, hey!
All Too Well (10 Minute
I knew you were trouble when you walked in Version)
So shame on me now I walked through the door with you, the air was cold
Flew me to places I'd never been But somethin' 'bout it felt like home somehow
'Till you put me down, oh And I left my scarf there at your sister's house
And you've still got it in your drawer, even now

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze
Flew me to places I'd never been (yeah) We're singin' in the car, getting lost upstate
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Autumn leaves fallin' down like pieces into place
And I can picture it after all these days
And I know it's long gone and Down the stairs, I was there
That magic's not here no more I remember it all too well
And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all
Oh, oh, oh
And there we are again when nobody had to know
You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath
'Causе there we arе again on that little town street Sacred prayer and we'd swear
You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over To remember it all too well, yeah
at me
Wind in my hair, I was there
I remember it all too well Well, maybe we got lost in translation
Maybe I asked for too much
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it
Photo album on the counter all up
Your cheeks were turnin' red Runnin' scared, I was there
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized I remember it all too well
bed
And your mother's tellin' stories 'bout you on the tee-
ball team And you call me up again just to break me like a
You taught me 'bout your past thinkin' your future promise
was me So casually cruel in the name of bein' honest
I'm a crumpled-up piece of paper lyin' here
'Cause I remember it all, all, all
And you were tossing me the car keys
Fuck The Patriarchy keychain on the ground
We were always skippin' town They say all's well that ends well
And I was thinkin' on the drive down: Any time now But I'm in a new hell every time
He's gonna say it's love You double-cross my mind
You never called it what it was You said if we had been closer in age
Maybe it would've been fine
And that made me want to die
'Til we were dead and gone and buried
Check the pulse and come back swearing, it's the
same The idea you had of me, who was she?
After three months in the grave A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel
And then you wondered where it went to as I reached Whose shine reflects on you
for you Not weepin' in a party bathroom
But all I felt was shame Some actress askin' me what happened: You
And you held my lifeless frame That's what happened: You

And I know it's long gone and You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes
There was nothing else I could do Sippin' coffee like you're on a late-night show
And I forget about you long enough But then he watched me watch the front door all
To forget why I needed to night
Willin' you to come
And he said: It's supposed to be fun
'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night Turning 21
We're dancin' 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator
light
Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it (Down the stairs, I was there, I was there)
I'd like to be my old self again (Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there)
But I'm still tryin' to find it (It was rare, you remember it all too well)
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me
your own
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone (Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there)
(Down the stairs, I was there, I was there)
(Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there)
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week (It was rare, you remember it all too well)
'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like
me
You can't get rid of it (Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there)
'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah (Down the stairs, I was there, I was there)
(Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there)
(It was rare, you remember it)
'Cause there we are again when I loved you so
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever
known (Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there)
It was rare, I was there (Down the stairs, I was there, I was there)
I remember it all too well (Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there)

Wind in my hair, you were there

You remember it all
Down the stairs, you were there
You remember it all
It was rare, I was there
I remember it all too well

And I was never good at tellin' jokes, but the punch

line goes
I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age
From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones
I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight

And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?

Just between us, did the love affair maim you too? the 1
'Cause in this city's barren cold I'm doing good, I'm on some new shit
I still remember the first fall of snow Been saying yes instead of no
And how it glistened as it fell I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn't though
I remember it all too well I hit the ground running each night
I hit the Sunday matinée
You know, the greatest films of all time were never
Just between us, did the love affair maim you all too made
well?
Just between us, do you remember it all too well?
Just between us (just between us)m I remember it all I guess you never know, never know
too well (wind in my hair) And if you wanted me, you really should've showed
(I was there, I was there)
And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow If you would've been the one
And it's alright now (Ooh)

But we were something, don't you think so?

Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishes came true
It would've been you
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one
(Ooh)

I had this dream you're doing cool shit

Having adventures on your own
You meet some woman on the internet and take her
home
We never painted by the numbers, baby
But we were making it count
You know, the greatest loves of all time are over now

I guess you never know, never know

And it's another day waking up alone

But we were something, don't you think so?

Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishes came true
It would've been you
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one

I, I, I persist and resist the temptation to ask you

If one thing had been different
Would everything be different today? betty
Betty, I won't make assumptions
About why you switched your homeroom but
We were something, don't you think so?
I think it's 'cause of me
Rosé flowing with your chosen family
Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard
And it would've been sweet
When I passed your house
If it could've been me
It's like I couldn't breathe
In my defense, I have none
For digging up the grave another time
But it would've been fun
You heard the rumors from Inez Slept next to her, but
You can't believe a word she says I dreamt of you all summer long
Most times, but this time it was true
The worst thing that I ever did
Was what I did to you Betty, I'm here on your doorstep
And I planned it out for weeks now
But it's finally sinkin' in
But if I just showed up at your party Betty, right now is the last time
Would you have me? I can dream about what happens when
Would you want me? You see my face again
Would you tell me to go fuck myself?
Or lead me to the garden?
In the garden would you trust me The only thing I wanna do
If I told you it was just a summer thing? Is make it up to you
I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything So I showed up at your party
But I know I miss you Yeah, I showed up at your party

Betty, I know where it all went wrong Yeah, I showed up at your party
Your favorite song was playing Will you have me?
From the far side of the gym Will you love me?
I was nowhere to be found Will you kiss me on the porch
I hate the crowds, you know that In front of all your stupid friends?
Plus, I saw you dance with him If you kiss me, will it be just like I dreamed it?
Will it patch your broken wings?
I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything
You heard the rumors from Inez But I know I miss you
You can't believe a word she says
Most times, but this time it was true
The worst thing that I ever did Standing in your cardigan
Was what I did to you Kissin' in my car again
Stopped at a streetlight
You know I miss you
But if I just showed up at your party
Would you have me?
Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself?
Or lead me to the garden?
In the garden would you trust me
If I told you it was just a summer thing?
I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything
But I know I miss you

the last great american

I was walking home on broken cobblestones dynasty
Just thinking of you
When she pulled up like
A figment of my worst intentions Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny
She said: James, get in, let's drive Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St.
Those days turned into nights Louis
Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name and money
And the town said: How did a middle-class divorcée seen
do it? I had a marvelous time ruining everything
The wedding was charming, if a little gauche
There's only so far new money goes
They picked out a home and called it Holiday House I had a marvelous time ruining everything
Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud A marvelous time ruining everything
The doctor had told him to settle down A marvelous time
It must have been her fault his heart gave out I had a marvelous time
And they said

There goes the last great American dynasty

Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've
been
There goes the maddest woman this town has ever
seen
She had a marvelous time ruining everything

Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever

Flew in all her bitch pack friends from the city
Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the
big names
And blew through the money on the boys and the
ballet
And losing on card game bets with Dalí
And they said

There goes the last great American dynasty

Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've
been
There goes the most shameless woman this town has
ever seen
She had a marvelous time ruining everything

They say she was seen on occasion

Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea
And in a feud with her neighbor
She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green
Fifty years is a long time
Holiday House sat quietly on that beach
Free of women with madness, their men and bad
habits august
And then it was bought by me
Salt air and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Who knows, if I never showed up, what could've been Whispers of: Are you sure?
There goes the loudest woman this town has ever Never have I ever before
But I can see us lost in the memory (Remember when I pulled up and said: Get in the car)
August slipped away into a moment in time (And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?)
'Cause it was never mine (Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets hope of it all)
August sipped away like a bottle of wine (Meet me behind the mall)
'Cause you were never mine

Remember when I pulled up and said: Get in the car

Your back beneath the Sun And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Wishing I could write my name on it Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (for the
Will you call when you're back at school? hope of it all)
I remember thinking I had you For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
(For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)

But I can see us lost in the memory

August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine

Back when we were still changing for the better

Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case you'd call
And say: Meet me behind the mall
So much for summer love and saying us
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
You weren't mine to lose, oh

But I can see us lost in the memory

August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine

'Cause you were never mine illicit affairs

Never mine
But do you remember?
Make sure nobody sees you leave
Hood over your head, keep your eyes down
Tell your friends you're out for a run
Remember when I pulled up and said: Get in the car
You’ll be flushed when you return
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Take the road less traveled by
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the
Tell yourself you can always stop
hope of it all
What started in beautiful rooms
Meet me behind the mall
Ends with meetings in parking lots
And that's the thing about illicit affairs And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
And clandestine meetings and longing stares Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
It's born from just one single glance Look at how my tears ricochet
But it dies and it dies and it dies
A million little times
We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean
Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring
Leave the perfume on the shelf You know I didn't want to have to haunt you
That you picked out just for him But what a ghostly scene
So you leave no trace behind You wear the same jewels that I gave you
Like you don’t even exist As you bury me
Take the words for what they are
A dwindling, mercurial high
A drug that only worked I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
The first few hundred times 'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
And that's the thing about illicit affairs Look at how my tears ricochet
And clandestine meetings and stolen stares
They show their truth one single time
But they lie and they lie and they lie And I can go anywhere I want
A million little times Anywhere I want, just not home
And you can aim for my heart, go for blood
But you would still miss me in your bones
And you wanna scream And I still talk to you (when I'm screaming at the sky)
Don't call me kid, don't call me baby And when you can't sleep at night (you hear my
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me stolen lullabies)
You showed me colors you know I can't see with
anyone else
Don't call me kid, don't call me baby I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves
You taught me a secret language I can't speak with You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
anyone else Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
You turned into your worst fears
And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain
And you know damn well Crossing out the good years
For you, I would ruin myself And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed
A million little times Look at how my tears ricochet

my tears ricochet cardigan

Vintage tee, brand-new phone
We gather here, we line up, weepin' in a sunlit room
High heels on cobblestones
And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe
Sequin smile, black lipstick
All the hell you gave me?
Sensual politics
'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
'Til my dying day

But I knew you

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
Dancin' in your Levi's
And you're the hero flying around, saving face
Drunk under a streetlight, I
I knew you I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
Hand under my sweatshirt Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
Baby, kiss it better, I I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
And you'd be standin' in my front porch light
And I knew you'd come back to me
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan You'd come back to me
Under someone's bed And you'd come back to me
You put me on and said I was your favorite And you'd come back

A friend to all is a friend to none And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Chase two girls, lose the one Under someone's bed
When you are young, they assume you know nothing You put me on and said I was your favorite

But I knew you

Playing hide-and-seek and
Giving me your weekends, I
I knew you
Your heartbeat on the High Line
Once in twenty lifetimes, I

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan

Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite

To kiss in cars and downtown bars

Was all we needed
You drew stars around my scars
But now I'm bleedin'

'Cause I knew you

Steppin' on the last train
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
I knew you
Tried to change the ending
Peter losing Wendy, I
I knew you Style
Leavin' like a father Midnight
Running like water, I You come and pick me up, no headlights
And when you are young, they assume you know A long drive
nothing Could end in burning flames or paradise

But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss Fade into view, oh
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs It's been a while since I have even heard from you
The smell of smoke would hang around this long (Heard from you)
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
And I should just tell you to leave, 'cause I 'Cause we never go out of style (we never go, we
Know exactly where it leads, but I never go)
Watch us go 'round and 'round each time We never go out of style

You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye Take me home
And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like Just take me home
And when we go crashing down, we come back every Yeah, just take me home
time Oh, oh, oh
'Cause we never go out of style (Out of style)
We never go out of style

And when we go crashing down, we come back every time (and when we go)
time 'Cause we never go out of style
'Cause we never go out of style We never go out of style
We never go out of style

So it goes
He can't keep his wild eyes on the road
Takes me home
The lights are off, he's taking off his coat

I say: I heard, oh
That you've been out and about with some other girl
(Some other girl)

He says: What you heard is true, but I

Can't stop thinking about you, and I
I said: I've been there too, a few times

'Cause you got that James Dean daydream look in

your eye Blank Space
And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like Nice to meet you, where you been?
And when we go crashing down, we come back every I could show you incredible things
time Magic, madness, heaven, sin
'Cause we never go out of style Saw you there and I thought
We never go out of style Oh, my God, look at that face!
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?
You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt (a New money, suit and tie
tight little skirt) I can read you like a magazine

They come with prices and vices She's laughing up at us from hell

It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
I wake up screaming from dreaming It's me, hi, everybody agrees, everybody agrees
One day I'll watch as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
(For the last time) It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem,
it's me)
At teatime, everybody agrees (everybody agrees)

I'll stare directly at the Sun, but never in the mirror hero
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
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your
favorite city
Pierced through the heart, but never killed

Did you hear my covert narcissism

Lightly disguised as altruism
Like some kind of congressman?
(Tale as old as time)

I wake up screaming from dreaming

One day I'll watch as you're leaving
And life will lose all of its meaning
(For the last time)

It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem,
it's me)
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the Sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-

(Chasing that fame, he stayed the same)
She thinks I left them in the will
(All of me changed like midnight)
The family gathers around and reads it and someone
My town was a wasteland I guess sometimes we all get
Full of cages, full of fences Some kind of haunted, some kind of haunted
Pageant queens and big pretenders And I never think of him
But for some, it was paradise Except on midnights like this
(Midnights like this, midnights like this)

My boy was a montage

A slow-motion, love potion
Jumping off things in the ocean
I broke his heart 'cause he was nice
He was sunshine, I was midnight

(Rain)
(He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain)
(He wanted a bride, I was making my own name)
(Chasing that fame, he stayed the same)
(All of me changed like midnight)

It came like a postcard

Picture perfect shiny family
Holiday peppermint candy
But for him, it's every day

So I peered through a window

A deep portal, time travel
All the love we unravel
And the life I gave away
'Cause he was sunshine, I was midnight

Rain
He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride, I was making my own name
Chasing that fame, he stayed the same
All of me changed like midnight

(Chasing that fame, he stayed the same) Vigilante Shit

You did some bad things, but I'm the worst of them
Sometimes I wonder which one will be your last lie
I guess sometimes we all get They say looks can kill, and I might try
Just what we wanted, just what we wanted
And he never thinks of me
Except for when I'm on TV
I don't dress for women, I don't dress for men
Lately, I've been dressing for revenge
I don't start shit, but I can tell you how it ends
Don't get sad, get even
So on the weekends, I don't dress for friends
Lately, I've been dressing for revenge

She needed a cold heart proof, so I gave her some

She had the envelope, where'd you think she got it
from?
Now she gets the house, gets the kids, gets the pride
Picture me, thick as thieves with your ex-wife

And she looks so pretty

Driving in your Benz
Lately, she's been dressing for revenge

She don't start shit, but she can tell you how it ends
Don't get sad, get even
So on the weekends, she don't dress for friends
Lately, she's been dressing for revenge

Ladies always rise above

Ladies know what people want
Someone sweet, and kind, and fun
The lady simply had enough

Well, he was doing lines

And crossing all of mine
Someone told his white collar crimes to the FBI
And I don't dress for villains
Or for innocents
I'm on the vigilante shit again

Bejeweled
Baby love, I think I've been a little too kind
I don't start shit, but I can tell you how it ends Didn't notice you walking all over my peace of mind
Don't get sad, get even In the shoes I gave you as a present
So on the weekends, I don't dress for friends Puttin' someone first only works when you're in their

Nice! But you might have to wait in line
What's a girl gonna do? What's a girl gonna do?

Baby boy, I think I've been too good of a girl (too

I made you my world (huh?), have you heard? (Huh?) I can still make the whole place shimmer
I can reclaim the land
And I miss you (I miss you), but I miss sparkling (ah,

Best believe I'm still bejeweled when I walk in the

Sapphire tears on my face, sadness became my whole

sky (sky)
But some guy said my aura's moonstone just 'cause
he was high
I been dancin' all night, and you can try to change my Mastermind
mind Once upon a time, the planets and the fates
But you might have to wait in line And all the stars aligned
What's a girl gonna do? A diamond's gotta shine You and I ended up in the same room
At the same time

Best believe I'm still bejeweled when I walk in the

room And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
I can still make the whole place shimmer (shimmer) Of a chain reaction of countermoves
And when I meet the band, they ask: Do you have a
To assess the equation of you gonna stop me
Checkmate, I couldn't lose I laid the groundwork and then, saw a wide smirk
On your face, you knew the entire time

What if I told you none of it was accidental?

And the first night that you saw me, nothing was You knew that I'm a mastermind
gonna stop me? And now you're mine
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork Yeah, all you did was smile
The dominoes cascaded in a line 'Cause I'm a mastermind

What if I told you I'm a mastermind?

And now you're mine
It was all by design
'Cause I'm a mastermind

You see, all the wisest women had to do it this way

'Cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover's
game

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail

Strategy sets the scene for the tale
I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails
And the liquor in our cocktails

What if I told you none of it was accidental

And the first night that you saw me, I knew I wanted
your body?
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork
The dominoes cascaded in a line

What if I told you I'm a mastermind?

And now you're mine
It was all my design
'Cause I'm a mastermind

No one wanted to play with me as a little kid

So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since
To make them love me and make it seem effortless
This the first time I felt the need to confess
Karma
And I swear, I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian You're talkin’ shit for the hell of it
'Cause I care Addicted to betrayal, but you’re relevant
You’re terrified to look down
‘Cause if you dare, you’ll see the glare
Of everyone you burned just to get there
So I told you none of it was accidental
It’s coming back around
And the first night that you saw me, nothing was
And I keep my side of the street clean ‘Cause karma is my boyfriend, karma is a god
You wouldn’t know what I mean Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend
Karma's a relaxing thought
Aren't you envious that for you it's not?
‘Cause karma is my boyfriend, karma is a god Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me
Karma's a relaxing thought Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
Aren't you envious that for you it's not? Me and karma vibe like that
Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me
Flexing like a goddamn acrobat Karma is my boyfriend, karma is a god
Me and karma vibe like that Karma’s a relaxing thought

Spidеr-boy, king of thieves

Weavе your little webs of opacity
My pennies made your crown
Trick me once, trick me twice
Don’t you know that cash ain’t the only price?
It’s coming back around

And I keep my side of the street clean

You wouldn’t know what I mean

‘Cause karma is my boyfriend, karma is a god

Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend
Karma's a relaxing thought
Aren't you envious that for you it's not?
Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me
Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
Me and karma vibe like that

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 (I'm still
here)

‘Cause karma is the thunder, rattling your ground

Karma’s on your scent like a bounty hunter
Karma’s gonna track you down
Step by step, from town to town
Sweet like justice, karma is a queen
Karma takes all my friends to the summit
Karma is the guy on the screen
Comin’ straight home to me
