[Verse 1] I hold the door, I hold my tongue Clean up messes I didn’t become Wear my halo like it matches my dress Smile through every little test I face the truth when a lie looks sweet Take the long way home on tired feet And every time I choose the higher ground Somebody finds a way to let me down [Pre-Chorus] So tell me why the saints get blamed While the sinners sip champagne I’ve been feeling good enough to disappear But tonight I see it clear [Chorus] Maybe I’m tired of doing the right thing When the right thing always breaks me Maybe I should use the power in my eyes Let the whole room quiet when I walk inside I know I could get what I want When I let myself want it out loud I won’t do something crazy But then again, you can’t stop What’s happening in my head now Mmmhhhmm What’s happening in my head now [Verse 2] You’re standing close, but you’re no longer mine A beautiful mistake in someone else’s life I know the rules, I know the line I know exactly why I should say goodbye But you look at me like a loaded gun Like you remember what I could become And I hate that I can feel you in my skin Like one more second could rewrite fate [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need to touch your hand To imagine where this could land No one sees the war beneath The pretty face and polished teeth [Chorus] Maybe I’m tired of doing the right thing When the right thing always breaks me Maybe I should use the power in my eyes Let the whole room quiet when I walk inside I know I could get what I want If I let myself want it out loud I won’t do something crazy— But then again, you can’t stop What’s happening in my head now [Post-Chorus] In my head, in my head You’re already mine for a minute In my head, in my head No one gets hurt if I’m in it [Verse 3] I’ve been the girl who leaves the party Before the midnight turns messy The one who never takes too much The one who knows when not to touch But maybe all that self-control Has been a cage around my soul And maybe being good is not the same As being afraid to say my name [Bridge] You were the one I learned to leave The one I swore I wouldn’t need But every road I take alone Keeps bringing me back to your name Three times now, I’ve turned away Three times fate has made you stay Baby I’m tired of letting go Of something I already know [Outro] So tell me why the saints get blamed While the sinners sip champagne Maybe I’ve been good for far too long Maybe that’s about to change Maybe I’m tired of doing the right thing…
