petal

[Verse 1]
Tryna feel something real
To cry again
They say the artist needs tears
To write again

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all of my favorite stories
End in some kind of catastrophe
But I don’t need someone to save me
'Cause this music and I will never die

[Chorus]
It's such a fucked situation
Petal in the pavement
Just as long as she keeps getting it right
Heartbreak won’t bite here in paradise
This is such a convenient conflation
This record in rotation
Long as she gets the ovation each night
Heartbreak won't bite, this is paradisе

[Post-Chorus]
I hear them all say, "Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm, mm)
They say, "Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm)

[Verse 2]
Tеll me who's to blame, is it the people or myself? Yep
But this time feels so very different
This is not a cry for help
A couple million for my thoughts, I've got plenty
But I am not the victim
Bitch, I'm practically drowning in my blessings
It's bye, this time for real
Tired of painting endless pictures of a life that isn't mine
Trying different boys on for size
If this is my curse, I'll let it ride, ride

[Pre-Chorus]
’Cause all of my favorite stories
End in some kind of catastrophe
But I don’t need someone to save me
'Cause this music and I will never die

[Chorus]
It’s such a fucked situation
Petal in the pavement
Just as long as she keeps getting it right
Heartbreak won't bite here in paradise
This is such a convenient conflation
This record in rotation
Long as she gets the ovation each night
Heartbreak won't bite, this is paradise

[Post-Chorus]
I hear them all say, "Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm, mm)
They say, "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm)
I hear them all say, "Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm, mm)
They say, "Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm)
