[Verse 1]
Picture me, I am a silhouette
I am a sob story standing in the rain in a summer dress
Only so much the heart can take
I thought he had plans to love me
But it seems I made a grave mistake
Watching them from far away
He wrapped his arms I'd die to live inside
Around her perfect little tiny waist
A sucker punch into my chest
I'll see myself out, I'm going home to cry in private
Don't call me, you can send a text

[Pre-Chorus]
Pull up at this petrol station, please
So I can buy a pack of cigarettes
Crying in a strangеr's car
Had fun with Alice at the bar
Maybe I'll bеcome the Queen of Hearts

[Chorus]
Cold girls get by, cold girls won't cry
I'll become the winter woman
I'll wear floor length fake fur coats in the middle of July, baby
I'll be sad and beautiful
I will be sad and beautiful
I'll wait and pray for warmer days to come

[Post-Chorus]
Until then, I'll know that
Life goes on, life goes on
She gets her money, then a taxi home
She hunts alone, hurts alone
In her castle on the hill
Where no one comes and no one goes
Yeah and her heart is blue, dress is red
Your text is green and left on read
Just like roses, violets are blue
But karma's a b!tch
I had a feeling it'd be easy (??)

[Verse 2]
Picture me, I am a silhouette
I am a sob story standing in the rain in a summer dress
I know I won't be sad forever
(Desperate times, desperate measures)
Tonight I kissed a bottle on the lips
It's desperate times requires desperate pleasure
I don't need another friend

[Pre-Chorus]
Pull up at this petrol station, please
So I can buy a large bottle of gin
Crying in a stranger's car
Had fun with Alice at the bar
Maybe I'll become the Queen of Hearts

[Chorus]
Cold girls get by, cold girls won't cry
I'll become the winter woman
I'll wear floor length fake fur coats in the middle of July
I'll be sad and beautiful
I will be sad and beautiful
And I'll wait and pray for warmer days to come
(??)

[Verse 3]
Now watch her walk in slow motion
Watch her walking away
Her hair will dance in the wind
She'll be the girl you wish you had
Give me a night to cry my heart out and a day to rebrand
As I remind myself I am the girl I think that I am
She keep it pushing, sadness depression
She hides her scars and it's oppressive
She screams injustice
No more paragraph confessions
She learnt her lessons
(??)

[Outro]
Until then
(Life goes on) Life goes on
Life, life goes, life goes on
There'll be no more paragraph confessions
Life goes on, life goes on
She gets her money, then a taxi home
Life goes on, life goes on
She gets her money, then a taxi home
Life goes on, life goes on
She gets her money, then a taxi home
Life goes on, life goes on
She gets her money, then a taxi home
