[Verse 1]
I think you liked me better when I was sixteen
Did you like me better when I would smile back?
I think you knew I didn’t understand it
I’m calling you out, I’m calling you out

[Pre-Chorus]
So sad, are you mad?
Where’s your spine? Unattached
And I don’t wanna hear it

[Chorus]
Put on a smile with my face in the dirt
I give you my best behavior, but you say I’m the worst
How could you call it a power when I call it a curse?
Close to being a God, not enough to be your perfect daughter

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Guess I’ll always be the one you can hate
Like a plague I carry around with my name
I keep bending backwards, starting to break
Look what you made me, isn’t it great?
I’m calling you out, I’m calling you out

[Pre-Chorus]
So sad, are you mad?
Where’s your spine? Unattached
And I don’t wanna hear it

[Chorus]
Put on a smile with my face in the dirt
I give you my best behavior, but you say I’m the worst
How could you call it a power when I call it a curse?
Close to being a God, not enough to be your perfect daughter

[Bridge]
Crazy, I know that you played me
But how could you blame me for not getting over it?
You tear me down, could you spare me?
Now just bury me, get it over with
Crazy, I know that you played me
But how could you blame me for not getting over it?
Tear me down, could you spare me?
Now just bury me, get it over with

[Chorus]
Put on a smile with my face in the dirt
I give you my best behavior, but you say I’m the worst
How could you call it a power when I call it a curse?
Close to being a God, not enough to be your perfect daughter

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Not enough to be your perfect daughter
Oh, oh, oh
And I don’t wanna hear it
