i like my girls that dance
i like my boys that know how to shut up
i like the lights blinding
i like my glasses shattered on the dashboard
i like the music up
i like it when its deafening
i like when i don’t know when to stop
i like my head hanging out the window
it gets cold in the room when my bubblegum pops
lick my lips so cool, i saw you drool and your eyes roll back
its a whole new story when i take my top off
bite your neck so slow, get off of your phone, no holding back
baby, i got it
i got it bad
push all of my thoughts
to the end of your bed
and lately, i’m alright i’m just distracted
so touch my body so i can feel again
it’s not you, it’s not her
what she said, what’s my worth
you’re so sweet, my dessert
only hungry when i’m hurt
i like my girls that dance
i like my boys that know how to shut up
i like the lights blinding
i like my glasses shattered on the dashboard
i like the music up
i like it when its deafening
i like when i don’t know when to stop
i like my head hanging out the window
my golden trophies sittin’ pretty on my shel
watch my lashes drip, won’t you take a sip from my wishing well
got two fingers and a sucker they’re all the same
love me back so good and if i could you know i’d stay
baby, i got it
i got it bad
push all of my thoughts
to the end of your bed
and lately, i’m alright i’m just distracted
so touch my body so i can feel again
it’s not you, it’s not her
someone new, what’s your worth
you’re so sad, did it work?
only happy until sober
i like my girls that dance
i like my boys that know how to shut up
i like the lights blinding
i like my glasses shattered on the dashboard
i like the music up
i like it when its deafening
i like when i don’t know when to stop
i like my head hanging out the window
(hanging out the window)
if you’re a mess, i’ll take you home
if not, i’ll undress you on the walls

such a predicament
would you think i’m overwhelmed?
i hope you didn’t notice
i wasn’t shaking my hands on purpose
like my mother’s love
as genuine as smothering could be
the capacity i hold is greater than most wish to receive
no, there is no fault
the perspective has shifted
i’ll take responsibility for my missed opportunities
but i won’t partake in victimizing
a human so innocently
being
much ado about
the remnants of my ideology
i wish i’d open my mouth
without the fear of what might come out
like my father’s love
as heartbreaking as protective could be
the capacity you hold is untouchable for those undeserving
no, it’s not your fault
that others stay uncertain
don’t take the blame when they’re the ones who burned the church in
no i won’t partake in chastising
a human so innocently
being
the world has a knack for acting so cruel
just to show all the love so available to you
it will feel undiscovered, a layer of self-doubt
shedded and uncovered
my identity was shrouded in the gauze of old friends’ opinions
no more, no more do i hold myself to these standards
of being too nice to tell them goodbye or tell no
without having
to lie
so i won’t partake in victimizing
a human so innocently
being
