Verse:
D#
I forget how the West was won

I forget if this was ever fun
CmG#
I just learned these people only raise you to cage you

Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best

Clutching their pearls, sighing "what a mess"
CmG#
I just learned these people try and save you ʼcause they hate you

Too high a horse for a simple girl to rise above it

The one thing I wanted

And Iʼm running with my dress unbuttoned
G#
Screaming, "But Daddy, I love him
A#
Iʼm having his baby
G#
No Iʼm not but you should see your faces"

No, Iʼm not coming to my senses

I know heʼs crazy, but heʼs the one I want

Tendrils tucked into a woven braid

Bedroom eyes like a remedy

Iʼll tell you something right now

Iʼd rather burn my whole life down

Itʼs mine alone to disgrace

God save the most judgemental creeps

Who say they want whatʼs best for me

Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies Iʼll never see

Thinking it can change the beat

Of my heart when he touches me and counteract the chemistry

And undo the destiny

And Iʼm dancing in my dress in the sun
G#
And even my daddy just loves him
A#
Iʼm his lady
G#
And oh my god you should see your faces

Time, doesnʼt it give some perspective?

I know heʼs crazy, but heʼs the one I want
