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
