[Verse 1] I should have known Zabulon never comes kind He stops beside me Like a blade at my throat His shadow on my dress My knees in the dirt He reaches for my hand Like he owns the hurt [Pre-Chorus] He turns my palm Like it holds a crime His eyes go cold On the lines inside “Princesses shouldn’t sit in dirt” He says it like a curse “It’s very unbecoming” And that’s the worst [Chorus] Unbecoming That’s what you call me Unbecoming When I’m already bleeding Take your judgment Take your shining hand I’m still standing In the dirt you made me wear Unbecoming Say it again Unbecoming I won’t bend [Verse 2] He drops my fingers Like they burned his skin I taste the shame He tries to leave on me My voice comes out small Barely a breath at all “I’m sorry,” I say And I hate that fall My crown feels heavy Under all this mud But I know my name Even if he doesn’t love it [Pre-Chorus] He wants me folded Quiet and neat Pretty as a prayer Broken at his feet “Princesses shouldn’t sit in dirt” He says it like a blade “It’s very unbecoming” Let the whole world hear it [Chorus] Unbecoming That’s what you call me Unbecoming When I’m already bleeding Take your judgment Take your shining hand I’m still standing In the dirt you made me wear Unbecoming Say it again Unbecoming I won’t bend [Bridge] [Whispered] Look at me now I learned the shape Of being dismissed I learned the weight Of a turned-away wrist [Growled] You don’t get my shame You don’t get my name You don’t get to touch me Then call me blame [Breakdown] Princesses shouldn’t sit in dirt I spit out the word It’s very unbecoming Good, let it hurt Princesses shouldn’t sit in dirt Watch me stay here I wear the mud Like a crown of fear [Final Chorus] Unbecoming That’s what you call me Unbecoming But I am still breathing Take your judgment Take your shining hand I’m still standing In the dirt you made me wear Unbecoming Say it again Unbecoming I won’t bend Unbecoming I’ll rise from this Unbecoming And I won’t miss
