Lyrics

girl i've always been

[Intro: Olivia Rodrigo & Dan Nigro] Ready? Are you ready? Yeah (I'm gonna scare you again) Don't scare me again Six, a-five, six, seven, eight [Verse 1] "Baby doll, you have changed" That's the thing you always say Cursin' me, trash my name I rained all over your parade Now you're on my couch, you're fightin' tears You say I'm cruel beyond my years And as I'm walkin' out that door Say you don't know me anymore [Chorus] Well, I have captors I call friends I got panic rooms inside my head And I get down with crooked men But I am the girl I've always been I got wrapped up in the game again And you woke up in an empty bed And I can't say I'm a perfect ten But I am the girl I've always been [Verse 2] So don't say that I've been actin' different I'm nothin' if I'm not consistent You knew everything you'd be gettin' I told you right from the beginnin' Now you're on my case, how could I go? You never dreamed I'd be so cold And then, with venom on your tongue You ask me who I have become [Chorus] Well, I have captors I call friends I got panic rooms inside my head And I get down with crooked men But I am the girl I've always been I got wrapped up in the game again And you woke up in an empty bed And I can't say I'm a perfect ten But I am the girl I've always been [Outro] Yeah, I'm a candle in the wind I'll turn you out, I'll turn you in But I am the girl I've always been, ah
