[Verse 1] You came in soft With your little speech Like I asked for a sermon In a ruined room I read your face Like a cheap receipt Nothing there to keep [Pre-Chorus] Don’t come closer Don’t start again Save your wisdom For someone else I’m not bending I’m not breaking I’ve learned the shape Of the leaving [Chorus] You’re not my mother, you’re not my friend Stay on your side Stay away I don’t need warm I don’t need nice I just need you Out of my way You’re petty, babe I’m pettier (pettier) You’re petty, babe I’m pettier [Verse 2] You love to circle With your small, sharp grin Like a knife in a purse In a velvet coat You want my silence You want my shame You want me tame I keep my polish Keep my chin high While you spin your rumors On a dry little fire You call it truth I call it trash I let it pass [Pre-Chorus] Don’t come closer Don’t start again Save your wisdom For someone else I’m not bending I’m not breaking I’ve learned the shape Of the leaving [Chorus] You’re not my mother, you’re not my friend Stay on your side Stay away I don’t need warm I don’t need nice I just need you Out of my way You’re petty, babe I’m pettier (pettier) You’re petty, babe I’m pettier [Bridge] I wore my heart Like a bright red bangle You dropped it once And called it fragile Now look at me Still standing here Sharper than fear No more advice No more remarks No more hands On my scar I bless the door Then slam it shut That’s where you are [Chorus] You’re not my mother, you’re not my friend Stay on your side Stay away I don’t need warm I don’t need nice I just need you Out of my way You’re petty, babe I’m pettier (pettier) You’re petty, babe I’m pettier
