Clairo
I LOOK AT YOU
[Skit]
Real tough chick
Yeah, that’s right Warriors
Just keep walking
Real tough mothers ain’t ya?
You guys don’t show me much
Why don’t you dickheads just walk all the way back home, huh?
We are not gonna hide who we are just because some whore shakes her ass
Don’t call me no whore
I ain’t no whore

[Verse 1]
Look at your reflection, do you like what you see?
You like your pretty smile? Or them cute lil cheeks?
Those bangs that drive me wild? Or how you fit in them jeans?
Or how you rock those Dickies and a BROCKHAMPTON tee?
But really, I can see what you see
A broken reflection that got you down on your knees
You pick the piеces up but they’re just making you bleed
You thought you needеd help so you went looking for me
But when I first seen you I couldn’t see all the pain
All the sleepless nights where you’d be going insane
I couldn’t see you crumble at the thought of his name
All the blood and stab wounds from the war in your brain
Now when I look at you I can see through the stains
All the holes, the rips, the tears, yeah, I can see all the strain
You try to stitch and sew together all the remains
But you can’t clean the pain, just by bleaching the stains
[Skit]
Why don’t you just tie a mattress to your back?
You don’t care where it is do ya?
Look, what do you got against me?
You been picking on me all night!
You want me to tell you the truth?
Yeah, sure, go ahead
I don’t like the way you live
The way I live?
Yeah, I keep hoping I’m gonna run into something a little better
Well what kind of crap is this?

[Verse 2]
Look at me, tell me, what do you see?
Just another man to hold you close while you sleep?
How bout a pair of lips to kiss you soft on the cheek?
Or just a pretty face to fill your ex with envy?
Bet ya ain’t seen my eyes that only focused on you
Bet ya ain’t seen my heart that melts whenever you enter the room
You ain’t seen my thoughts, but let me give you a clue
Bet ya ain’t seen a man already in love with you
So look
Now I’m the one who’s out here writhing in pain
I’m the one who doesn’t go to sleep and just goes insane
I’m the one who’s out here screaming at the thought of your name
I’m the one who’s out here bleeding from the war in my brain
I drink to numb the pain, cause I don’t have you
I bleach my hair just to feel brand new
Then I check my mirror in my bathroom
But it’s not my face, I’m lookin’ at you
[Skit]
Who are you? You ain’t any better than me
I guess you like the way everything’s going for you, huh?
Well maybe I do
Friday nights are pretty good, Saturday nights are better
I don’t think you’d remember who you get on Friday and Saturday nights
I don’t think you’d remember what they look like
Sometimes I can and sometimes I can’t
Who gives a damn?
I see what’s happening next door and down the block
Belly hanging down, five kids, cockroaches in the cupboard
I’ll tell you what I want, I want something now
This is the life I got left, you know what I mean?
You get it Warrior, huh?
You get it?

[Verse 3]
I look at you
But you keep looking away
If you looked at me, you’d see that you and I are the same
I look at you, but you won’t even look my way
What is it? Shame?
Cause you caused my pain?
Made me the fool
(I’m no fool)
Cause you ain’t wanna love me the same?
Gave me the pain that never dies because you pushed me away?
Oh-ooh-whoa
You treat me like I’m nothing, but say
That I mean something to you, why couldn’t you call a spade a spade?
“Fuck you, bitch!” I could say, then go and take a piss on your face
But nah, I’m tired of playing this game, I’m tired of placing the blame
Cause now I seen all the sunshine and seen all the rain
All of the sadness and rage, all of the vengeance and hate
All those times that I prayed, but couldn’t forgive the mistakes
Yeah, I let that shit consume me, tried to push it away
But now I realize I can’t run or hide from things I should face
Don’t want more slaves to this pain, don’t want more links to this chain
Don’t wanna have to keep you tied to all the guilt and the shame
So I forgive you cause my love for you is more than my hate
And I forgive myself for my part in this mess that we made
But won’t forget the things you did cuz then I’d just do the same
So I pick the pieces up myself, now shit starts to change
I see less of your reflection and see more of my face
Now I hope that one day you can see yourself and say that you did the same
[Skit]
Real tough chick
Yeah right, you said that before
This is what we fought all night to get back to?
Maybe I’ll just take off
Well you know I like traveling too
Where have you ever been?
I’ve never been anywhere, I just know I’d like it
What’s this for?
I just hate seeing anything go to waste
