Iceberg Beauty

[Verse 1] Everybody else knows when to let it go Pick their words and keep the temperature low You? You’d rather kick the door right in Tell me exactly where I’m full of it again I dress it up, make an excuse sound clean You peel it apart like you know what I mean I swear you’re impossible, I swear you’re a pain Then you give me that smile like you won the game [Pre-Chorus] I can dodge the question, change the subject Build a case and call it circumstance But you’ve already read between the lines And you’re waiting for me to stop pretending I can’t [Chorus] Iceberg beauty, cold enough to bite Sharp little smile and a dangerous mind You don’t tell me what I wanna hear You cut through the noise and make the truth appear Iceberg beauty, never sugar-coat You’d rather tell me I’m wrong than tell me I’m close You’re a little too clever, a little too severe But I’d rather hear the truth from you than anything I wanna hear [Verse 2] You call yourself a genius, say it like a fact I’d argue with you, but you’ve already planned that Three moves ahead before I make mine And somehow you saw through the bluff every time You read every room like a strategy game Spot the weak point before I finish my claim I hate when you’re right, I’ll admit that much But I can’t call it arrogance when you’ve got the stuff [Pre-Chorus] Everybody wants the peace, nobody wants the fight Everybody loves the easy answer when it sounds right You’d rather risk the tension than pretend we’re okay And somehow that’s the reason I keep coming back your way [Chorus] Iceberg beauty, cold enough to bite Sharp little smile and a dangerous mind You don’t tell me what I wanna hear You cut through the noise and make the truth appear Iceberg beauty, never sugar-coat You’d rather tell me I’m wrong than tell me I’m close You’re a little too clever, a little too severe But I’d rather hear the truth from you than anything I wanna hear [Bridge] You said, “Don’t make my approval your prize” “Don’t build your worth around the look in my eyes” “What’s out of your hands isn’t yours to control” “Stop using the distance to excuse where you go” And damn, I hated hearing every word Because the hardest truths are the ones that hurt But you never asked me to become someone new You just refused to let me lie to myself around you [Breakdown] So call yourself a genius Go ahead, I’ll roll my eyes I’ll tell you that you’re insufferable You’ll tell me I’m surprised You don’t need to win me over You don’t need to prove you’re right But somehow every conversation Leaves me thinking through the night [Final Chorus] Iceberg beauty, cold enough to bite Sharp little smile and a dangerous mind You don’t tell me what I wanna hear You cut through the noise and make the truth appear Iceberg beauty, never sugar-coat You’d rather tell me I’m wrong than tell me I’m close You’re a little too clever, a little too severe But I’d rather hear the truth from you than anything I wanna hear [Outro] You’re insufferable… You know that, right? …Unfortunately, you’re usually right.
