[Verse 1]
Be a good girl, pretty house wife
Need to have sex every night
Remove all hair from your body
But don't you dare cut yourself 'cause
[Pre-Chorus]
He might see you bleed
All these expectations please
Hold yourself up to a standard
For somebody else's needs
Wipe the tears off of your cheeks
Yeah, this man should set you free
But it didn't work for me
[Chorus]
I was filling up my head with those lies
Tryna tell me everything’s fucking fine
I wanted love, you know I wanted it so right
Oh, now I know that’s not how it’s supposed to go
I made a wish into a fallen eyelash
It flew away, and so I took my life back
I wanted love, you know I wanted it so bad
Oh, now I know that’s not how it’s supposed to go
[Verse 2]
Setting small fires, little tantrums
Break the dry wall with your fist
I’ll tell myself that this is normal
Just a bandage on my hand 'cause
[Pre-Chorus]
He might see you bleed
All these expectations please
Hold yourself up to a standard
For somebody else's needs
Wipe the tears off of your cheeks
Yeah, this man should set you free
But it didn't work for me
[Chorus]
I was filling up my head with those lies
Tryna tell me everything’s fucking fine
I wanted love, you know I wanted it so right
Oh, now I know that’s not how it’s supposed to go
I made a wish into a fallen eyelash
It flew away, and so I took my life back
I wanted love, you know I wanted it so bad
Oh, now I know that’s not how it’s supposed to go
[Bridge]
Oh no, oh no
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
I wanted love, you know I wanted it so bad
[Chorus]
Oh, I was filling up my head with those lies
Tryna tell me everything’s fucking fine
I wanted love, you know I wanted it so right
Oh, now I know that’s not how it’s supposed to go
I made a wish into a fallen eyelash
It flew away, and so I took my life back
I wanted love, you know I wanted it so bad
Oh, now I know that’s not how it’s supposed to go
