I've been sitting alone for hours Waiting for you to bring your ugliest parts to me I've been naming our thorns for hours Hoping you'll treat them as kindly as you treated me Oh, I've been thinking like a beast for hours Wondering if you like the challenge of grooming me After I glamour you for hours Boy, will you have the strength, the strength to extinguish me? Come on and help me sing, help me sing, oh Each time you deny my mess You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me Each time you deny my mess You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me Close to me Close, close, close, close Boy, I'm hungry but all my knives are dull Will you sharpen your teeth to hunt and keep me full? When you're burnt out and you're praying for rain Can I wish for flood, oh, is that okay? ♪ (Each time), each time you deny my mess (ayy) You'll find yourself closer to me (don't treat me like a mistake) Closer to me (only to end up back in my face) oh, oh Each time you deny my mess You'll find yourself (right here), closer to me (oh, I), closer to me Close to me Close, close, close, close
