[Verse 1]
They liked her quiet
Eyes on the floor
Soft little mirror
For what they adore
Called her an angel
When she obeyed
Tracing their shadows
Til hers slipped away
[Chorus]
Everyone loves her
Til she loves herself
Til she pulls her body
Down from their shelf
Til she says her own name
Like a spell
Like a spell
Everyone loves her
Til she loves herself
[Verse 2]
He said he feared her
Once she grew teeth
Once she stopped starving
For crumbs of his speech
Their praise turned poison
Overnight cold
Same lips that kissed her
Spat "you've grown bold"
[Chorus]
Everyone loves her
Til she loves herself
Til she locks the door
On their little hell
Til she wants her own touch
More than their help
Everyone loves her
Til she loves herself
[Bridge]
She carves a line
Right through the lie
"I am not here
For you to like"
Paint on her fingers
Ash on her tongue
A crown made of choices
Too sharp to be hung (oh)
[Chorus]
Everyone loves her
Til she loves herself
Til she keeps her secrets
Where they can't dwell
Til she looks in the glass
And it finally melts
Everyone loves her
Til she loves herself
[Outro]
Low hum of freedom
Under her skin
If they call it madness
Let the madness win
