Not Your Pretty Thing

Verse 1)

You said I’m better when I smile sweet,

But I’m not here to play make-believe.

You liked me quiet, soft, and small,

But baby, I don’t owe you that at all.

Got my leather, got my rage,

Tore your name right off my page.

You built a cage, I lit it up,

Now I’m done with your kind of love.

(Pre-Chorus)

You can keep your little fantasy,

’Cause I’m not the girl you wanted me to be.

(Chorus)

I’m not your pretty thing,

I’m the storm you tried to tame.

I bite back, I don’t break,

Got fire running through my veins.

I’m loud, I’m wild, I sting,

You’ll remember my name when it rings.

You wanted sweet — but here’s the sting,

’Cause I’m not your pretty thing.

(Verse 2)

I traded heels for boots and scars,

And I’m dancing under broken stars.

You thought you’d fix me, make me stay,

But I don’t fade — I walk away.

(Pre-Chorus)

You can keep your little fantasy,

I’m not your damn apology.

(Chorus)

I’m not your pretty thing,

I’m the storm you tried to tame.

I bite back, I don’t break,

Got fire running through my veins.

I’m loud, I’m wild, I sting,

You’ll remember my name when it rings.

You wanted sweet — but here’s the sting,

’Cause I’m not your pretty thing.

(Bridge)

I’m gasoline and glitter mixed,

Your nightmare with a lipstick twist.

You wanted control, I cut the strings,

Now watch me fly on shattered wings.

(Final Chorus)

I’m not your pretty thing,

I’m the thunder when you blink.

You can try to dim my flame,

But I’ll burn through every name.

I’m loud, I’m wild, I sting,

This crown’s mine — let the guitars sing.

You wanted soft, but I’m the sting,

’Cause I’m not your pretty thing.
