[Verse 1]
You left your boots at my door
Like I was a floor
I bit my tongue raw
Now I taste blood and law
Your name on my screen
Like a bad little thing
I read it twice, then I laughed
Then I threw the glass back
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't tell me "calm down"
Don't tell me "be sweet"
I've been the whole damn night
With your boot on my teeth
I was your soft place
Your pretty disguise
Now I'm learning your face
By the whites of my eyes
[Chorus]
I break pretty things
I break pretty things
(Pretty things)
Watch me, watch me
I break pretty things
I don't stay small
I don't stay sweet
(Stay sweet)
You lit the match
Now I'm gasoline
[Verse 2]
I wore your apology
Like a dress I hate
Smiled at your friends
While I sharpened the blade
You want a good girl
With a shut-up mouth
I got a whole different spark
When I spit you out
Your dirty little jokes
Your hand on my waist
I left you on read
Then I burned your place
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't tell me "cool it"
Don't tell me "breathe"
I've been polite for years
That debt's leaving me
I was your mirror
Now I'm the crack
Say my name again
And you won't get it back
[Chorus]
I break pretty things
I break pretty things
(Pretty things)
Watch me, watch me
I break pretty things
I don't stay small
I don't stay sweet
(Stay sweet)
You lit the match
Now I'm gasoline
[Bridge]
My voice got teeth
My hands got rings
Every lie you sold
Turns to paper wings
[spoken]
I don't owe you soft
I don't owe you nice
[Break]
Count your blessings
Count your scars
I was your exit
Now I'm your alarm
[Final Chorus]
I break pretty things
I break pretty things
(Pretty things)
Watch me, watch me
I break pretty things
I don't stay small
I don't stay sweet
(Stay sweet)
You lit the match
Now I'm gasoline
I break pretty things
I break pretty things
(Pretty things)
Yeah, watch me now
I break pretty things
