Verse 1
Lipstick stains on porcelain skin
Say I’m heaven, say I’m a sin
You love me best when I’m half-broken
When I don’t say what I’m thinkin’
Cherry cola on your breath
You romanticize my mess
Call me fragile, call me art
Like I’m not a beating heart
Pre-Chorus
You build me up to watch me fall
Say it’s love, but it feels small
I play dead, you play pretend
Say we’ll last, but not till the end
Chorus
I’m your pretty little tragedy
Wrapped in lace and jealousy
You kiss my scars like poetry
Then leave me when it’s not aesthetic
You want my pain, not all of me
I cry soft so it looks sweet
I’m your pretty little tragedy
Only loved when I’m delicate
Verse 2
Pink pills in a crystal glass
Make me forget who I was
You say I’m “crazy,” say it cute
Like it’s something I should be used to
Movie scenes in midnight blue
I’d burn the world to stay with you
But you love me slow and sad
Never happy, never glad
Pre-Chorus
You like me quiet, like me small
Like I don’t have needs at all
I give you truth, you give me lies
Dress it up in lullabies
Chorus
I’m your pretty little tragedy
Wrapped in lace and jealousy
You kiss my scars like poetry
Then leave me when it’s not aesthetic
You want my pain, not all of me
I cry soft so it looks sweet
I’m your pretty little tragedy
Only loved when I’m delicate
Bridge (Soft, Whispered)
If I heal, would you stay?
Or do you need me this way?
You don’t love the girl inside
You love the tears I hide
Final Chorus
I’m not your pretty tragedy
I’m more than what you see
I won’t bleed just to be lovely
I won’t break for your fantasy
You wanted art, not honesty
A sad girl made to please
But I’m done being delicate
I choose myself over misery
Outro
Porcelain cracks
And I don’t apologize
