petal (angry live version)

Tryna feel something real to cry again

They say the artist needs tears to write again

'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

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 bitе, this is paradise

I hear them all say, "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm)

Thеy say, "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm)

Tell 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

’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

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

I hear them all say, "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm)

They say, "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm)

I hear them all say, "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm)

They say, "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm)
