Put on my best dress
I wanted to impress
I put on a knicker pull
Put a bow in my head
We're pretty in our way
Open you my ticket oh
Don't know if you already care
But I'm strapped to my chair
And it ain't cause you're pretty
You were charming until
You saw your chance to kill
Your chance to make a story
You went straight for the knife
And I'm prepared to die
You play it chimes
Look me straight in the eye
Turn the gas on high
Put the flame alive
You wonder why I'm scared of fire
You wonder why you make girls cry
My mascara a mess
Harsh words for your princess
Boy you and your promises
And if you where's the love
You scored an epic mess
And I'm just a memory
You went straight for the knife
And I'm prepared to die
You play it chimes
Look me straight in the eye
Turn the gas on high
Put the flame alive
You wonder why I'm scared of fire
You wonder why you make girls cry
Boy you're drowning again
I'm hungry for your better loving
But will someone find me swinging round after
I'm hanging on your every word
You went straight for the knife
And I'm prepared to die
You play it chimes
Look me straight in the eye
Turn the gas on high
Put the flame alive
You wonder why I'm scared of fire
You wonder why you make girls cry
