lyrics
EL CORAZÓN TE VA A CIEN NO SABES CÓMO HACERLO PARAR
LA PIEL SE TE ERIZA LOS OJOS SE TE TUERCEN CUANDO ELLA ATRAVIESA EL UMBRAL
EL CORAZÓN TE VA A CIEN NO SABES CÓMO HACERLO PARAR
¿QUÉ TEMES?
¿QUÉ TEMES?
you walk into the door
powdered up like a fresh bun out the oven
like a beautiful bug fresh out of a metamorphosis
you say hello to me
i walk out the door
i am a big ugly bug was never promised any blossoming
my skin grows spikes when you brush against me and kiss my cheek like you know me
you’re just being nice ‘cause you feel bad
for me
i’m just here wanting more wanting more
i’ll back off i’ll back off
i just wanted to dance with you
i’m sad you still don’t know who i am
i’m better than your man
better than your man
i’m just here wanting more wanting more wanting more wanting more
i’ll back off i’ll back off
i just wanted to dance with you
you don’t like that i don’t know what i want
i don’t know who i am
but i’m better than your man
i’m better than your man
my skin grows spikes when you brush against me you’re so good at wanting what i want
you’re so good at being what i want
to be
something missing
bring in my envy
something beautiful
turn confusion
into misogyny
look at her don’t look at her
she wears her shell like it’s herself
or maybe it is she who is she
don’t look at her look at me
look at her don’t look at her
she wears her shell like it’s herself
or maybe it is she who is she
don’t look at her look at me
i saw her first she’s for me
LA PIEL SE TE ERIZA LOS OJOS SE TE TUERCEN CUANDO ELLA ATRAVIESA EL UMBRAL
