[Extended Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1 - quiet almost spoken words] Wide eyes Tilt of my head Laugh when I trip "Guess I'm slow" I said I asked "Wait say that again?" I write little hearts In the margins of plans Drop my keys You rush to the floor You feel so big When you open my doors "Sweet thing Couldn’t scheme at all" You tuck me in Like a porcelain doll [Build Up to Chorus] [Chorus] You talk I listen I nod I blink Let you tell me What I should think You say "she’s clueless" I let it slide Every small secret You leave outside Keep on explaining Every rule Every wall While I just smile Like a porcelain doll [Instrumental] [Verse 2] I miss The names you just said "Who’s that?" I tilt my head You spell Your passwords out loud Say it’s "just safer" When I’m around I "forget" Where we parked last night So you grab my hand And walk me by the fights You brag How you fixed it all You never see How hard you fall [Build Up to Chorus] [Chorus] You talk I listen I nod I blink Let you tell me What I should think You say "she’s clueless" I let it slide Every small secret You leave outside Keep on explaining Every rule Every wall While I just smile Like a porcelain doll [Instrumental] [Bridge] [Beat drops to sparse bass and snaps] "Poor thing Can’t read the room" You don’t know I built the room You think You’re pulling strings But I drew The map you’re in That friend You thought you chose That deal You think you closed Every door You think you own I handed you The keys alone Final move You never saw Every word Fed into my paw [Build Up to Chorus] [Chorus] You talk I listen I nod I blink But every thought Was ink I drink You say "she’s clueless" I bite my tongue I wrote the script You’ve been reading from Keep on explaining How you stand so tall While I stop smiling And drop my porcelain (fall) I'm the mastermind Yeah, the mastermind I'm the mastermind Checkmate [Instrumental]
