Lyrics

Claws

[Verse 1]

You and your stubbornness

You and your own advice

Is that mirror ball a little too bright?

You and all your loose ends

Does that echo chamber deafen at night?

Aren't you tired?

[Pre-Chorus]

You called me your medicine

You could barely keep me down

Poker face, perfected it

Pretending that you wanted me around

[Chorus]

You can tell it how you want, bet I'll bite back baby

I won't sit and watch you talk

I can take it like a girl, let you think you made me

I didn't need you at all

I didn't need you, need you

Didn't need you at all

I didn't need you, need you

Didn't need you at all

You can sell it how you want, but I'll fight back baby

You got teeth, but I've got claws

[Verse 2]

You pick me apart as a project of your affection

Your eyes find the places where your face is only reflected

And I've been so complacent to all of your perfection

But fuck, my time was wasted on things that you had expected

[Pre-Chorus]

You called me your medicine

You could barely keep me down

Poker face, perfected it

Pretending that you wanted me around

[Chorus]

You can tell it how you want, bet I'll bite back baby

I won't sit and watch you talk

I can take it like a girl, let you think you made me

I didn't need you at all

I didn't need you, need you

Didn't need you at all

I didn't need you, need you

Didn't need you at all

You can sell it how you want, but I'll fight back baby

You got teeth, but I've got claws

[Bridge]

I wanna watch you burn, burn, burn

You know you hurt me, now it's your turn

I wanna watch you burn

[Chorus]

You can tell it how you want, bet I'll bite back baby

I won't sit and watch you talk

I can take it like a girl, let you think you made me

I didn't need you at all

I didn't need you at all, I didn't need you at all

I didn't need you at all, I didn't need you at all

I didn't need you at all

You got teeth, but I've got claws
