lyrics

And you
You’re too scared to get to close to me
You’re scared of what everyone else would think
If they saw you saw something you love in me

So you
You trick me just to come inside of me
Live out your temporary fantasy
And leave me feeling empty once again

Cause
You’ll love me just for a minute
Get it out of your system
Then settle down inside your picket fence with her
You say I’m just petty, but

She’s great
And you’re great
And you’re both great together
I just wish that you could see this pattern

That
I’m just an alien
In Area 51
Pull me apart
Dissect my heart
Anything you want

Prod me and torture me
Like I’m just a new species
Another of your conquests
And even with that context
I’m stuck in your gravity

And why
Am I convinced I need someone like you
Who always tries to pull me back in to
This loves-me-loves-me-not
When you don’t love me enough to just tell me the truth

And why
Do I get my hopes up every time
You make me think that you can see my light
Only to lose your appetite
Then move on to someone else

Cause
You’ll love me just for a minute
Get it out of your system
Then settle down inside your picket fence with her
You say I’m just petty, but

She’s great
And you’re great
And you’re both great together
I just wish that you could see this pattern

That
I’m just an alien
In Area 51
Pull me apart
Dissect my heart
Anything you want

Prod me and torture me
Like I’m just a new species
Another of your conquests
And even with that context
I’m stuck in your gravity
And I just can’t break free

I stay up till the crack of dawn
You message back, but then you’re gone
I ask you what I’m doing wrong
You say you don’t know what you want
Convince myself to pull away
But here you come; you’re begging me to stay
The night
So I say, “Alright.”
But all we do is fight
I ask you what this is all about
It’s an experiment to figure yourself out
You say
So that makes me your lab rat then?
Okay.

Fuck you

(Instrumental)

Yeah
You’ll love me just for a minute
Get it out of your system
Then settle down inside your picket fence with her
You say I’m just petty, but

She’s great
And you’re great
And you’re both great together
I just wish that you could see this pattern

That
I’m just an alien
In Area 51
Pull me apart
Dissect my heart
Anything you want

Prod me and torture me
Like I’m just a new species
Another of your conquests
And even with that context
I’m stuck in your gravity
I’m stuck in your gravity
And I just can’t break free
