anique rose - doghouse lyrics

[verse 1]
like a true leading lady
i clock in to my 9 to 5
where i destroy a good man’s life
then at 6 call him “baby”
i assembled the army
cursed my name while you burned alive
held the match but i still denied
god forbid i say “sorry”

[chorus]
you called me “a snake, a self+obsessed liar”
i had nothing to say, you were preaching to the choir
your leash that i made, of glass shards and leather
i hate a cliché, but you could do better

[refrain]
if you’re leaving me stranded
i understand it
i understand

[verse 2]
saw your cards, bet the money
love your laugh but it’s not the sound
think i just like when you’re around
’cause it makes me feel funny
[chorus]
said i’m “a witch,” i twist and conspire
i wish that it hurt, ’cause i’m such a pretty crier
default to defense, and almost innately
so, how could i ever be shocked that you hate me?

[refrain]
if you’re leaving me stranded
i understand it
i understand

[bridge]
diluted your sweetness, ’till you were bleak and frail
asked you to breathe my world in and never exhale
thought my cages were trendy, they were metal and mean
put a couch in the doghouse, i’ll be there for a while now
said i was “a poet,” but it was all plagiarized (all plagiarized)
reading sparks, green, and austen, under my disguise (under my disguise)
and i’d flinch just a little when you’d mention my eyes
terrified that you’d see it, but even worse, you believed it
and you were calling out to me, you were calling out
like you’re spamming the lifeline but the power’s out
like a child in the sandbox won’t share her toys
’cause what’s yours was mine, but mine wasn’t yours
your hair is turning grey and you’re only nineteen
heard you blame your genetics but i know it’s ’cause of me
and the great gods of guilt, they don’t give it to you sweet
nailed a sign on my forehead “i know it’s ’cause of me”
[refrain]
if you’re leaving me stranded
well, i understand it
i understand

[outro]
if you think i’m a screw+up
it isn’t just you, love
it isn’t just you

if you’re wanting me punished
i’ve already done it
it’s already done

when you call me the villain
isn’t that a given?
isn’t that?

if you remove your tattoo
i swear i won’t blame you
i swear that i won’t
