[Verse 1]
Stolen gardenia, makeshift lapel
It’s bad behavior but I’ll never tell if you don’t
And you won’t
Your breath on my neck through my homecoming dress
I’m more patient now then I ever have been
Placated by a cold flask on your hip
And we’re dancing
Can I tell you a secret?
I’m desperate for you

[Chorus]

My love is my love, it’s big love for you
‘Til it’s your love, then it’s your love
And it’s your problem too
Here, just inches away from you
Four left feet in a room
Always all over you
You know and I know it’s just how it goes
We both get too close ’til we fu*king explode
And I hope they bury me right next to you

[Verse 2]
Brought a knife to the gunfight
But they shoot blanks and I’m feeling crazy tonight
But I’m secretly still scared
That you’ll see underneath and you’ll leave me here
I’ll cry till my hair all falls out
Is it just me or is this room way too loud?
Don’t look now but everyone’s staring at us weird
And is it just me, or is there no air in here?

[Chorus]
My love is my love and bleeds like a wound
You pretend not to notice something I like about you
Young and sweet, only seventeen
I’m the real pig blood-soaked fu*king homecoming queen

Fire in my eyes, I just stand here and bleed
Crying in your arms, baby, can’t we just leave?
Everyone’s watching us and I can’t breathe
They’re all gonna laugh at me

[Outro]
They’re all gonna laugh at me
They’re all gonna laugh at me
They’re all gonna laugh at me
They’re all gonna laugh at me
They’re all gonna laugh at me
They’re all gonna laugh at me
They’re all gonna laugh at me
They’re all gonna laugh
