Tryna feel something real to cry for
They say the artist needs tears to write more

'Cause all of my favorite stories end
in some kind of catastrophe
But I don't need someone to save me
'Cause this music and I will never die

It's such a fucked situation
Petal in the pavement
Just as long as she keeps getting it right
Heartbreak won't bite, this is paradise
Such a convenient conflation
This record in rotation
'Long as she gets the ovation each night
Heartbreak won't bite, this is paradisе

I hear them all say, "Ooh, ooh"
And they say, "Ooh, ooh" (No, no, no, oh, yеah, baby)

Tell me who's to blame, is it the people or myself? (Yep)
But this time really feels so very different
This is not a cry for help
Couple million for my thoughts
I've got plenty, but I'm not a victim
Bitch, I'm practically drowning in my blessings
It's bye, this time for real
Tired of printing endless pictures
of a life that isn't mine
Trying different boys on for size
If this is my curse, I'll let it rise

All of my favorite stories end
in some kind of catastrophe
But I don't need someone to save me
'Cause this music and I will never die

It's such a fucked situation
Petal in the pavement
Just as long as she keeps getting it right
Heartbreak won't bite, this is paradise
Such a convenient conflation
This record in rotation
'Long as she gets the ovation each night
Heartbreak won't bite, this is paradise

I hear them all say, "Ooh, ooh" (Yeah)
And they say, "Ooh, ooh" (Ooh, oh, yeah, baby)
I hear them all say, "Ooh, ooh"
Oh, yeah, oh, they say, "Ooh, ooh" (Ooh, yeah)
