[Intro] "Turn the light off" "Leave the door cracked" [Verse 1] Striped like a warning sign on my skin Doorway queen of the almost in Chain at my throat where the prayers should hang Lipstick red like a cigarette drag You say I look like trouble from far away Up close I am softer than the words you never say [Pre Chorus] You love the surface, you fear the depth You trace my outline, you hold your breath [Chorus] I am not your pretty little breakdown I am not your wounded alibi You just like the way my eyes look Right before I say goodbye If you want my shadow, take it But you never get my spine I am not your pretty little breakdown You don't get to cross that line [Verse 2] Fishnets carve little maps on my knees From praying to gods that were never for me Elevator hums like a distant hive I press every button just to feel alive You want the crash but you skip the hit You want the art without owning the split [Pre Chorus] You love my darkness turned into light But you disappear when I stay up all night [Chorus] I am not your pretty little breakdown I am not your wounded alibi You just like the way my eyes look Right before I say goodbye If you want my shadow, take it But you never get my spine I am not your pretty little breakdown You don't get to cross that line [Bridge] All of your hands on my haunted throat Trying to polish every rusted note You want a siren without the sea But every sharp edge still belongs to me If I start screaming in your back seat car Will you drive faster or jump out with my heart [Chorus] I am not your pretty little breakdown I am not your wounded alibi You just like the way my eyes look Right before I say goodbye If you want my shadow, take it But you never get my spine I am not your pretty little breakdown You don't get to cross that line [Outro] "Turn the light off" You never saw me right I walk out laughing Into the city night
