lyrics

I can’t believe
I’m standing here again
All I guys I meet
Just lead to dead ends
And all the girls I’ve wanted
Never had a clue
And probably don’t bat for my team
Even If they knew

I’ve felt like a mountain
I have felt like a mouse
I’ve heard poison words
Fall out of my mouth
But I can swallow my pride
And apologize
If you give me half a chance
I will try
but let me tell you

I don’t know how to be sweet
I don’t know how to play a cool girl fantasy
And affection’s two directions not just a one way street
I’m just not that sweet
Cause my heart gets scared and sometimes shows its teeth
But If I’m yours I will love you honestly
So who cares about being sweet

Tried to be softer
More digestible
Diet versions of myself
Terrified of feeling full
I’ve squeezed these hips
Into someone else’s jeans
And I have said I’m sorry
When I didn’t need to be

I curse when I’m angry
Shit, I curse when I’m not
I’ve come off too cold
And I’ve come on too hot
So if we meet eyes
From across some crowded room
I ain’t ever gonna try to hide the truth

I’m just not that sweet
I don’t know how to play a cool girl fantasy
And affection’s two directions not just a one way street
Just not that sweet
Cause my heart gets scared and sometimes shows its teeth
But If I’m yours I will love you honestly
So who cares about being sweet
Who cares about being sweet

I’m just not that sweet
My heart gets scared and sometimes shows its teeth
If I’m yours I will love you honestly
If I’m yours I’ll give you all of me
So who cares about being sweet
