Pretty When I Panic

Title: “Pretty When I Panic” Verse 1 You say it’s nothing So why’s my body going numb? Why do I hear danger Hiding underneath your tongue? You’re sitting right beside me But I’m already gone Building little funerals For things you haven’t done Pre-Chorus I know it’s twisted The way I turn my fear to fact You didn’t break me But you’re standing where the cracks are at Chorus I get pretty when I panic Smile like it’s automatic Ice in my veins, lipstick tragic Jealousy is so romantic In a sick way, in a dark room In my head, I almost lost you You don’t even have to do shit I can make a whole truth from it Verse 2 I watch the way you look away Like I’m counting every blink Reading into empty space Till I’m drowning in a sink You’re being casual I’m collapsing in couture Turning all my softest parts Into something sharp and sure Pre-Chorus I make it bigger I make a bruise out of a touch I hate how quickly “Not enough” becomes too much Chorus I get pretty when I panic Smile like it’s automatic Ice in my veins, lipstick tragic Jealousy is so romantic In a sick way, in a dark room In my head, I almost lost you You don’t even have to do shit I can make a whole truth from it Bridge Maybe I’m just good at ruining nice things Maybe I learned love with sirens on Maybe every time you get a little distant I go back to where the damage started from And I know that isn’t fair to you But fear can make a liar sound like proof Final Chorus I get ugly when I panic No, it’s not that cinematic Mascara black, confession static Jealousy is fucking manic You were just breathing in the moonlight I was planning out a goodbye You don’t even have to do shit I can make my whole world from it Outro So hold me like you know I’m fighting ghosts you’ll never see You’re not the one I’m scared of It’s the jealousy in me
