+ Show full styles

[Intro - bright guitar, 4 bars] [Verse 1] She shows up uninvited Kicks the door and calls me habibi She knocks and steals things unbothered And somehow that's supposed to be easy She says I wear the darkness well Like that's a normal thing to say I said thanks and looked away I thought about it for the rest of the day [Pre-Chorus] I'm not stupid, I have read the signs I read strangers for a living, I'm fine But she's looking at me like - Okay wait, what does that mean [Chorus] What does she want, what does she want She poked me in the ribs and now I can't think straight What does she want, what does she want She said miss you or something Is that even a thing people say I've been burnt before, I know how this goes But she's looking at me and I - I don't know What does she want (I think I know) [Verse 2] She called me her darling once And then told me to get lost That's not - that's not how people talk Is it? What is this? I'm at a loss She terrifies me, genuinely More than anything I've ever faced And I've faced some genuinely terrible things So what does that say [Pre-Chorus] I'm not stupid, I can feel the pull I've felt worse things drag me to the floor But she's standing there like - Okay no, I can't do this anymore [Chorus] What does she want, what does she want She poked me in the ribs and now I can't think straight What does she want, what does she want She said miss you or something Is that even a thing people say I've been burnt before, I know how this goes But she's looking at me and I - I don't know What does she want (I think I know) [Bridge - half-time, almost talking to himself] She said don't fall in love with anything tragic I said not unless she's made of ink and trauma Why did I said that so specific She seem to dig I seem to dig We both seem to dig it And then I cleared my throat And walked away I am so normal about this I am completely fine [Chorus - final, full energy, he's grinning now] What does she want, what does she want She poked me in the ribs and now I can't think straight What does she want, what does she want She said miss you or something Is that even a thing people say I've been burnt before, I know how this goes But she's looking at me and I - I don't know What does she want (okay I know) [Outro - bright, fading, a little smug] I'm fine I'm so fine this is fine habibi
