about

a freshman year relationship defined by cheap beer and bad sex birthed this song. i hope u find a home in it like i do :))

lyrics

are you gonna kiss me
take your time to let me wilt
hold me in your arms
when we're messy & a little drunk

late in the evening
before we fall asleep
will you tell me that you love me
without any strings

but i've grown so god damn used to
owing parts of me to you
if i take my clothes off, will i be pretty

i’m sure you’ll say you like me more
if my shirt was on the floor
i took all of my clothes off
am i pretty

and i’m sure ill never be enough
but i'll drain my body of it’s blood
and sell my soul to you for just a drop
there’s nothing left, but you won’t stop

am i pretty?

so what’s the deal then
is this is all i am to you
bloody and broken
but still good enough for you to use

am i any more than
a shell of skin for you to claim
i flinch when you touch me
clinging so desperate to my frame

but i’ve grown so god damn used to
owing part of me to you
if i take my clothes off
will i be pretty

i’m sure you’ll say you like me more
if my shirt was on the floor
i took all of my clothes off
am i pretty

drown me in your artificial love
tie rocks to my body, i’ll try to float
when will I ever be enough
to earn a spoonful of your love

am i pretty?

i think that i love you more than i love myself
smoke me like you’re cigarettes, finish it off, then decide to quit
i know you’ve been waiting for the day when i say
that i've had enough.
