Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They look at the hair, they look at the smile
They don't see the miles, they don't see the bile
Sitting at the bar with a glass of red
Drinking down the things that the neighbors said
"Must be nice," she whispers with a tight-lipped grin
While her husband’s eyes keep following where I been
I didn't ask for the spotlight, I didn't ask for the stage
I'm just a bird locked in a gilded cage
[Chorus]
Independence ain't a flex, it's just survival
When every single stranger is your rival
They want you pretty, but they want you weak
Keep your mouth shut, don't ever speak
A treat to the girlfriends worried 'bout their man
A threat to the guy friends who don't understand
Yeah, beauty is a blade and it cuts both ways
Spend your whole damn life dodging the strays
[Verse 2]
Now Bobby calls me up just to check in
Talks 'bout his girl like a cardinal sin
"We're on the rocks," he says, pouring out his beer
Whispering sweet notions in my trusting ear
I see the trap, I see the hidden hook
I've read this story, I know the bloody book
You ain't looking for a friend, you're looking for a crutch
To ruin what you got 'cause you always need too much
[Chorus]
Independence ain't a flex, it's just survival
When every single stranger is your rival
They want you pretty, but they want you weak
Keep your mouth shut, don't ever speak
A treat to the girlfriends worried 'bout their man
A threat to the guy friends who don't understand
Yeah, beauty is a blade and it cuts both ways
Spend your whole damn life dodging the strays
[Bridge]
So keep your sideways glances, keep your whispered lies
I see right through the dust in your eyes
I built this armor out of broken glass and stone
I was born to fight, and I'll die alone
[Outro]
Yeah, a threat to the boys
A fright to the wives
Living my life
On a knife edge.
[Fade Out]
