lyrics

I put on my green dress
I paint my eyes a shade that is both hostile and inviting
This is a new kind of feeling
My desire to disturb is so intense that it is frightening
I've rolled my eyes at the girls in the movies who act so petty
I've no excuse for the way I imitate
The way I imitate
The way I imitate

And I'm laughing and I'm batting my eyes
And I'm ignoring you but only out of spite
And what I'm calling spite is really hope
Who knew that I'd become such a trope

I have been prideful, and stubborn, a tad moralistic
But one word I thought I was safe from was messy
I felt I was different
I was the mature, progressive girl who knew nothing of greed or jealousy
And in the morning I'm sick to my stomach but not from what I drank
The shame of these actions I wish I could release
I wish I could release
I wish I could release

And I'm laughing and I'm batting my eyes
And I'm ignoring you but only out of spite
And what I'm calling spite is really hope
Who knew that I'd become such a trope
