[Verse 1] I had a nice little version kept it polished, kept it clean put a bow on the damage made it look like history I could tell it at dinner with a soft little laugh skip the blood in the middle keep the beautiful half You were bad I was kind simple shape pretty line I said: this is why I turned out this way and the whole room smiled at the mess I rearranged [Pre-Chorus] But one small thing wouldn’t sit right one loose tooth in a perfect bite [Chorus] plot hole baby, there it goes plot hole now everybody knows I sold it so well I almost bought it plot hole where the truth walked in plot hole under my skin I made it look good then I got caught in it [Verse 2] I had a clean explanation for the mess on the floor had a saint little face and a knife in the drawer called it healing when I cut out the scene where I wasn’t the victim where I wasn’t so sweet I made you the villain so I could stay kind kept my hands in my pockets while I sharpened the line I edited the truth till it looked like me then acted surprised when I couldn’t get free [Pre-Chorus 2] Nice little dress on a bad little lie nice little mouth saying everything’s fine [Chorus] plot hole baby, there it goes plot hole now everybody knows I sold it so well I almost bought it plot hole where the truth walked in plot hole under my skin I made it look good then I got caught in it [Post-Chorus] pretty story pretty mouth leave that part leave that out pretty story pretty lie say it clean say it twice plot hole too late there I am too nice [Verse 3] I kept the wound holy so nobody could touch built a small religion out of not enough every time it hurt I knew where to point kept the whole thing breathing with a pretty little voice Then something didn’t fit in the dress I made one small truth wouldn’t stay in place It didn’t scream It didn’t break the glass It just asked one question and my good face slipped [Bridge] Thank you, story you kept me alive gave me a shape when I couldn’t decide Thank you, villain for standing right there holding my shadow like it was yours to wear Thank you, ending for sounding so neat Thank you, lie for letting me sleep But one little sentence fell out of line and suddenly the knife looked mine [Breakdown] no hero nice dress same wound new press one crack too bright my truth my bite [Final Chorus] plot hole baby, there it goes plot hole now everybody knows I sold it so well I almost bought it plot hole where the truth walked in plot hole under my skin I made it look good then I got caught in it plot hole in the story I sold me plot hole where the real walked in I blamed the dark for the teeth in the hallway then I saw they were growing within [Outro] The story stayed pretty. The ending stayed clean. But one page moved. And it looked like me.
