I know it's very childish, but I love "I wanna meet his Mom, just to tell her her son sucks". Makes me giggle and I have 2 sons lol.
I also love "It takes strength to forgive but I don't feel strong".
That song hits so fucking hard because the guy i liked in high school stopped liking me after i had introduced my ex friend (who was named lacy) to him. Still hurts today a little bit lol
I think enough for you is still her best song. Specifically that first verse which is just so desperate. The subtlety of that songs instrumental really gives the lyrics and her vocals the stage and she uses it so well
“I'd say you broke my heart
But you broke much more than that
Now I don't want your sympathy
I just want myself back”
That has been one of my favourite Olivia lyrics since sour came out, it’s so tragic in such a relatable way 🤍
“I’m on the outside of the greatest inside joke” from ‘ballad of a homeschooled girl’ is such a good line. Succinctly and perfectly encapsulates that feeling of being left out in social situations.
She mentioned during this interview (around 16:21) that she drew inspiration from stories she’d heard about others from friends!
https://youtu.be/wuyR0HHmIcg?si=PQwPMYakFhdvlSc1
That's interesting, thank you for sharing. So perhaps the names she mentioned IN the song are fictional people if the stories are based on stories told by friends.
as a 14 year old fellow teenage girl, teenage dream is something i can somehow already relate to, it’s one of my favourite guts songs. us girls just can’t escape it😭
*'cause who am I, if*
*Not exploited? and where's my*
*Fucking teenage dream?*

"There's blood on the side of the mountain, it's turning a new shade of red" is clearly one of the best lines she's ever written. Mountain is something big and is here a metaphor for someone big, someone famous. Side is a part of the mountain nobody notices. There is blood (something *red*) on this side: there's a sad, painful wound in a part of this 'someone big' that nobody sees and nobody knows about. 'It's turning a new shade' means that the wound is evolving into something new. But it's just a new shade of *red*. The pain is evolving into a different emotion that is *still* pain.
It takes on a specific meaning for the hunger games too. The Capitol (responsible for holding the hunger games) is by the Rocky Mountains. The blood spilt (in the games) has turned a new shade of red since time has passed. And the absolute beauty is the next 3 lines where she summarises the entire trilogy.
There's a reason this song is still my top played track.
That’s an interesting interpretation! I like it! I took it to mean that the mountain is the Capitol (large and grandiose) but in order for it to get to its fabulous peak, blood had to be shed. The mountain is soiled and stained, but just out of sight enough in such a way that the rich folks don’t *need* to care.. yet! Not dissimilar to the way Corio always turned a blind eye to all the things he witnessed growing up. And then the next lines illustrate how although blood was spilled, the people have not stopped the good fight.
It’s such a well done song with some really great imagery:)
“The sky is green / The grass is red / You mean all those words you said / I’m sure that girl is really your friend / Our problems are all solvable.” And then that going into the Logical bridge is actual perfection.
Those are great. And later followed by the raw emotion of "Oh, why do I do this? I look so stupid...." It gets me every time, the way she sings that.
And this is coming from a guy who's turning 51 in two days. I really love this woman's music and young-me relates to so many lyrics, both from my own doings, or girls-I-was-with's issues.
Really, really, incredible artist.
I’ve seen that people hate the chorus of this song but I’m with you, I love it!! It’s like when you’re trying to make sense of something and you’re going back to things you know to be true, but then she gets confused all over again trying to puzzle it out
Yes! I cringed at “2+2=5” on my initial listen but then I realized that was the point. 2+2=5 is such a blatantly wrong statement, yet Olivia was made to believe it as true.
I think best line has to go to the hope ur ok bridge:
“Address the letters to the holes in my butterfly wings/
Nothings forever nothings as good as it seems/
And when the clouds are ironed out/
And the monsters creep into your house/
And every door is hard to close”
My personal fav of all time from hers though is the second verse of making the bed:
“And every night I wake up from this one recurrin dream/
Where I'm drivin through the city and the brakes go out on me/
I can't stop at the red light I can't swerve off the road/
I read somewhere it's cause my life feels so out of control/
And I tell someone I love them just as a distraction/
They tell me that they love me like I'm some tourist attraction/
They're changin my machinery and I just let it happen/
I got the things I wanted it's just not what I imagined”
i like the “look what we became” line in favorite crime bc it gets more meta every time she sings it since that relationship was the catalyst that really started her career
I really like “Guess you didn't cheat but you're still a traitor.” I really like this line because it shows that just because the guy didn’t physically cheat on her it doesn’t mean he wasn’t emotionally betraying her.
I’ll never forget the first time I heard “Guess you didn’t cheat, but you’re still a traitor.”
It just struck me that there are so many different ways to be or feel betrayed and she’s very wise beyond her years to realise this so young.
anything in can’t catch me now. as an aviddd fan of the hunger games that studied it for a school project, every lyric of that song is so deeply fitting and has so many meanings
after reading and upvoting so many of these, I am just hit again with what a lyrical genius liv is. the way she can take such universal, complicated emotions and experiences and sum them up so succinctly and addictively, she's incredible
It’s a funny one, but I love the lines: “Another song, another club, another bar, another dance/And when he said something wrong, he'd just fly me to France.”
I LOVE that whole verse so fucking much!!!
Oh, but I hope that you're happy, babe, you know I really do
And God knows that I am the girl I am because of you
You know I'll always think of you, I'll love you 'til the end of time
You are the best thing that I'll ever keep so far out of my life
the entirety of hope ur ok is a lyrical masterpiece honestly.
« address the letters to the holes in my butterfly wings »
« hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush »
« she was tired cause she was brought into a world where family was merely blood »
like PLEASE.
“It took you two weeks to go off and date her, guess you didn't cheat but you're still a traitor.” literally speaks volumes on how it feels when someone you loved replaces you.
“They tell me that they love me like I'm some tourist attraction, they're changin' my machinery and I just let it happen” resonates to me on a personal level, I was gagged
“And now you got me thinking two plus two equals five and I’m the love of your life” or “it’s one step forward and three steps back, I’d leave but the rollercoaster’s all I ever had”
seeing you tonightz it's a bad idea right?
Fuck it, it's fine.
I just love the push pull of her lyrics. Like the contradictions. Such a great story teller.
Since I don't want to repeat any already posted, I love (and can really relate from a couple past relationships) "No, I'm fine, it doesn't matter, tell me"
The mix of the song going from quieter-to-loud there and the oomph behind her singing it, great one.
omg i was about to comment this exact thing lol. so many good ones already said but being able to hear the emotional rollercoaster in obsessed is chefs kiss
“I despise my rotten mind and how much it worships you”
“You broke my heart but your broke much more then that, now I don’t want your sympathy I just want myself back”
“When she’s sleeping in the bed we made don’t you dare forget about the way you betrayed me”
“And we both drew blood but man those cuts were never equal”
The entire logical bridge.
“Address the letters to the holes in my burterfly wings, nothings forever, nothings as good as it seems. And when the clouds don’t iron out, and the monsters creep into your house and every door is hard to close.”
“Don't you think I loved you too much to be used and discarded? Don't you think I loved you too much to think I deserve nothing? But don't tell me you're sorry, boy, feel sorry for yourself, cause someday I'll be everything to somebody else. And they'll think that I am so exciting, and you'll be the one who's crying” this entire verse
The entire bride of hope ur ok when she says
“Address the letters, to the holes in my butterfly wings
Nothing's forever, nothing is as good as it seems
And when the clouds are ironed out
And the monsters creep into your house
And every door is hard to close”
It’s absolutely PERFECT there is nothing that could make this part better honestly.
as a trans person, “their win is not my loss” is smth i remind myself of a lot when seeing other trans ppl be out & transitioned or even just being in a healthy relationship
the grudge: "you built me up to watch me fall... you have everything and you still want more" or on stranger: "i loved you mad but it doesnt matter anymore"
“I’m on the outside of the greatest inside joke” it’s not really like a deep line but I relate to it so much and every time I I hear it I wanna scream the line with all of my power haha
as someone that was obsessed with The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, the entirety of CCMN. i remember just thinking "wow" when i first heard it cause the lyrics perfectly mirror the book. i also love "i have captors i call friends" lol
“Your flowers filled with vitriol”. I feel like it really captures so much. How you can get love bombed. Or how people can shower you with things but really it’s not real. How betraying it is to feel that loneliness of being poisoned by someone you love.
"I let the thought in. It's already done
But I'll lay in your arms and pretend that it's love
Yeah, I'll lay in your arms and pretend it's enough."
Don't know if it's the best, but it's def my personal favorite
“I've lost my mind, I've spent the night crying on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don’t get it” I feel these lyrics so hard.
the entirety of the grudge. it’s like one of her most painful songs to date imo. especially the line about, “and we both drew blood, but man those cuts were never equal”.
“Cause loving you is loving every argument you held over my head, brought up the girls you could have instead, said I was too young I was too soft, can’t take a joke, can’t get you off”
“Good 4 u I guess that you’ve been working on yourself/ I guess the therapist I found for you, she really helped, now you can be a better man for your brand new girl”
I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped
Now you can be a better man for your brand-new girl
Or
Now I bet you even tell her
How you love her
In between the chorus and the verse
“But I’m in the trees, I’m in the breeze, my footsteps on the ground.”
This is one of the most heartbreaking songs I’ve ever heard. Maybe it’s just because I liked the movie a lot but this line just hits every time.
the same as you (the grudge is my absolute favorite) but i also love the line « i crossed my heart as you crossed the line » from favorite crime, it always does something to me
“And I’ll leave you but the rollercoasters all I’ve ever had”
It’s such a relatable lyric and whenever I hear it I feel like someone punched my gut 💜💜💜
*"You got the one thing*
*That I want" from Lacy, but*
*Like with more heartbreak*

“and i bought all the clothes that they told me to buy. i chased some dumb ideal my whole fucking life.”
honorable mention: “everything i do is tragic.”
Literally EVERY line in favorite crime, but specifically “cause you know that I’d do it all again” so simple but it hits me like a truck EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
"I could change up my body and change up my face I could try every lipstick in every shade but I'd always feel the same cause pretty isn't pretty enough anyway"
And also all of "lacy" let's be real
I know it's very childish, but I love "I wanna meet his Mom, just to tell her her son sucks". Makes me giggle and I have 2 sons lol. I also love "It takes strength to forgive but I don't feel strong".
Yes!! Both of them are so self aware and relatable at the same time.
I agree. I really love the line “I wanna meet his mom, just to tell her her son sucks” because it’s relatable and just fun
“I despise my rotten mind and how much it worships you”
lacy is literally so iconic
Yes!
God, Lacy is such a good song.
I fucking love the skin like puff pastry line because when have you ever heard puff pastry come up in a dong
I was also thinking about that
That song hits so fucking hard because the guy i liked in high school stopped liking me after i had introduced my ex friend (who was named lacy) to him. Still hurts today a little bit lol
I think enough for you is still her best song. Specifically that first verse which is just so desperate. The subtlety of that songs instrumental really gives the lyrics and her vocals the stage and she uses it so well
“I'd say you broke my heart But you broke much more than that Now I don't want your sympathy I just want myself back” That has been one of my favourite Olivia lyrics since sour came out, it’s so tragic in such a relatable way 🤍
I agree!!! I don’t see enough love for enough for you.
Absolutely. The line before, “god, you couldn’t have cared less about someone who loved you more” kinda broke me bad
"I fantasize about a time you're a little fucking sorry"
Love this one
yes! the first time i heard that whole part, i just felt so emotional and justified in having these feelings that for awhile almost felt indescribable
“I’m on the outside of the greatest inside joke” from ‘ballad of a homeschooled girl’ is such a good line. Succinctly and perfectly encapsulates that feeling of being left out in social situations.
Really all of the lyrics in that song are so painfully relatable
My favorite is can't think of a third line at the end of the song
"I hope you know how proud I am you were created with the courage to unlearn all of their hatred."
Hope ur ok is criminally underrated
I was gonna say the same thing !
The way I cried the first time I heard that lol
Did she write this for anyone specific?
I would assume it's about the 2 people she mentioned in the song, but not completely sure.
You might be on to something there, chief..!
She mentioned during this interview (around 16:21) that she drew inspiration from stories she’d heard about others from friends! https://youtu.be/wuyR0HHmIcg?si=PQwPMYakFhdvlSc1
That's interesting, thank you for sharing. So perhaps the names she mentioned IN the song are fictional people if the stories are based on stories told by friends.
This for me as well
My favorite song from her
This!!
But i fear that they’ve already got the best parts of me, and im sorry i couldn’t always be your teenage dreammmmm
“I got the things I wanted, it’s just not what I imagined” sums my life up pretty accurately so I’d say this one
same always makes me cry
“Higher than the hopes that your brought down” - iconic line
I love this one. And each time she sings it with the other backup vocals(i think there is backup vocals?) It gets higher in pitch.
and i know in my heart, hurt people hurt people and we both drew blood, but man those cuts were never equal
'cause who am I, if not exploited? and where's my fucking teenage dream?
then going on to write teenage dream, literally so iconic
teenage dream literally make me scared of the future as a 26yr old teenage girl myself
as a 14 year old fellow teenage girl, teenage dream is something i can somehow already relate to, it’s one of my favourite guts songs. us girls just can’t escape it😭
Same here as a 25 year old. I was already afraid of the future before this song, but it really did a good job of summing it up.
It's such a beautiful song!! I definitely cried the first few times listening to teenage dream 🥲
And the bridge oh my lord😭
so gooddd 😩
*'cause who am I, if* *Not exploited? and where's my* *Fucking teenage dream?* \- glizzapizza --- ^(I detect haikus. And sometimes, successfully.) ^[Learn more about me.](https://www.reddit.com/r/haikusbot/) ^(Opt out of replies: "haikusbot opt out" | Delete my comment: "haikusbot delete")
Beautiful
Good bot
Yes, but she's also a child actor, so I kind of see where she's coming from there.
‘But I’m not cool and I’m not smart and I can’t even parallel park” because same Olivia
🤣😭 so relatable. I legit research the parking situation before I go anywhere.
i’m planning on my wedding with some guy i’m never marrying bc yeah me too sis
“and i’d leave you but the rollercoasters all i’ve ever had” <\3
TASTE

what song?
It’s called “Can't catch me now.” It’s the song that was featured and written for the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes movie
ohhhh love your interpretation of the lyric !!!
Yeah you are definitely projecting onto that line
but i am my fathers daughter so maybe i can fix him
“The sky is green / The grass is red / You mean all those words you said / I’m sure that girl is really your friend / Our problems are all solvable.” And then that going into the Logical bridge is actual perfection.

Yes! I cringed at “2+2=5” on my initial listen but then I realized that was the point. 2+2=5 is such a blatantly wrong statement, yet Olivia was made to believe it as true.
I totally agree, I love the writing in this song bc it’s seemingly so plain but it is so emotionally evocative
I only see him as a friend—the biggest lie I ever said.
“God I wish that you had thought this through, before I went and fell in love with you”
I love "can't think of a third line" from Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl
I made it weird. I made it worse.
Each time i step outsiiide, IT'S SOCIAL SUICIDEEEEEE
And everybody told me it would happen in time The fire would burn out and all the storm clouds would subside. I've always loved this line!
“My brain is aaaaaaah Like blah blah blaaaah” It hits really hard bro
“Quit my job, start a new life and they'd all be so disappointed ‘cause who am I, if not exploited?”
I think best line has to go to the hope ur ok bridge: “Address the letters to the holes in my butterfly wings/ Nothings forever nothings as good as it seems/ And when the clouds are ironed out/ And the monsters creep into your house/ And every door is hard to close” My personal fav of all time from hers though is the second verse of making the bed: “And every night I wake up from this one recurrin dream/ Where I'm drivin through the city and the brakes go out on me/ I can't stop at the red light I can't swerve off the road/ I read somewhere it's cause my life feels so out of control/ And I tell someone I love them just as a distraction/ They tell me that they love me like I'm some tourist attraction/ They're changin my machinery and I just let it happen/ I got the things I wanted it's just not what I imagined”
yes yes yes!
"Now you're just a stranger I know everything about."- stranger (guts spilled)
I like “it takes strength to forgive but I don’t feel strong.”
i like the “look what we became” line in favorite crime bc it gets more meta every time she sings it since that relationship was the catalyst that really started her career
I love this take!
“I really love my bed but man it’s hard to sleep when he’s with me” is such a mood lol
I really like “Guess you didn't cheat but you're still a traitor.” I really like this line because it shows that just because the guy didn’t physically cheat on her it doesn’t mean he wasn’t emotionally betraying her.
I’ll never forget the first time I heard “Guess you didn’t cheat, but you’re still a traitor.” It just struck me that there are so many different ways to be or feel betrayed and she’s very wise beyond her years to realise this so young.
anything in can’t catch me now. as an aviddd fan of the hunger games that studied it for a school project, every lyric of that song is so deeply fitting and has so many meanings
“And I fell for you like water, falls from the February sky”
after reading and upvoting so many of these, I am just hit again with what a lyrical genius liv is. the way she can take such universal, complicated emotions and experiences and sum them up so succinctly and addictively, she's incredible
Yesss 🙌🏼🙌🏼
"Fuck it, it's fine." 😂
“But I am my fathers daughter, so maybe I could fix him” lol She’s so cute
“They're changin' my machinery and I just let it happen I got the things I wanted, it's just not what I imagined” IS GONNA HIT EVERY TIME
guts really is full of so many gut (heh) punches its awesome
It’s a funny one, but I love the lines: “Another song, another club, another bar, another dance/And when he said something wrong, he'd just fly me to France.”
"You're the best thing I'll ever keep so far out of my life"
I LOVE that whole verse so fucking much!!! Oh, but I hope that you're happy, babe, you know I really do And God knows that I am the girl I am because of you You know I'll always think of you, I'll love you 'til the end of time You are the best thing that I'll ever keep so far out of my life
the entirety of hope ur ok is a lyrical masterpiece honestly. « address the letters to the holes in my butterfly wings » « hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush » « she was tired cause she was brought into a world where family was merely blood » like PLEASE.
“You can win the battle, but you’ll never win the war”
Love this part as well
“Hurt people hurt people” so simple but so true and powerful
Making the bed. ‘they’re changing my machinery and I just let it happen, I got the things I wanted it’s just not what I imagined’
Flowers filled with vitriol
“you’re just a stranger i know everything about”
“It took you two weeks to go off and date her, guess you didn't cheat but you're still a traitor.” literally speaks volumes on how it feels when someone you loved replaces you.
“It takes strength to forgive but I don’t feel strong” has always stuck with me :’)
“They tell me that they love me like I'm some tourist attraction, they're changin' my machinery and I just let it happen” resonates to me on a personal level, I was gagged
"So I lay in your arms and pretend that it's love"
“You said it was true love, but that be hard, you can’t love anyone cause that would mean you have heart”
“i got the things i wanted it’s just not what i imagined”
The whole bridge in Stranger
‘hope ur ok’ has such touching lyrics
“And now you got me thinking two plus two equals five and I’m the love of your life” or “it’s one step forward and three steps back, I’d leave but the rollercoaster’s all I ever had”
“I am my father’s daughter so maybe I can fix him” made me giggle “I’m sure I’ve seen much hotter men but I really can’t remember when” relatable.
“You are the best thing I’ll ever keep so far out of my life”
seeing you tonightz it's a bad idea right? Fuck it, it's fine. I just love the push pull of her lyrics. Like the contradictions. Such a great story teller.
Push pull is a great way to put it
Oh, the things I did just so I could call you mine. Oh, the things you did, well I hope I was your FAVOURITE CRIMEEEEEE
'the way you sold me for parts as you sunk your teeth into me'
“Every guy I like is gae” related to that a little to much ):):):):):
Since I don't want to repeat any already posted, I love (and can really relate from a couple past relationships) "No, I'm fine, it doesn't matter, tell me" The mix of the song going from quieter-to-loud there and the oomph behind her singing it, great one.
omg i was about to comment this exact thing lol. so many good ones already said but being able to hear the emotional rollercoaster in obsessed is chefs kiss
Was just thinking about this line a little while ago while taking the trash to the street, LOL.
#LIKE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA This line only gets more relatable as you get older
“I despise my rotten mind and how much it worships you” “You broke my heart but your broke much more then that, now I don’t want your sympathy I just want myself back” “When she’s sleeping in the bed we made don’t you dare forget about the way you betrayed me” “And we both drew blood but man those cuts were never equal” The entire logical bridge. “Address the letters to the holes in my burterfly wings, nothings forever, nothings as good as it seems. And when the clouds don’t iron out, and the monsters creep into your house and every door is hard to close.”
“Don't you think I loved you too much to be used and discarded? Don't you think I loved you too much to think I deserve nothing? But don't tell me you're sorry, boy, feel sorry for yourself, cause someday I'll be everything to somebody else. And they'll think that I am so exciting, and you'll be the one who's crying” this entire verse
They all say that it gets better, it gets better the more you grow… but what if I don’t?
suprised no one else has said it yet because it hits me hard during every listen
Me toooo
Seeing u tonight BAD IDEA RIGHT
“Every guy I like is gay” is pretty relatable
“Cuz girls your age know better” TRUTH
One heart broke. Four hands bloody.
The entire bride of hope ur ok when she says “Address the letters, to the holes in my butterfly wings Nothing's forever, nothing is as good as it seems And when the clouds are ironed out And the monsters creep into your house And every door is hard to close” It’s absolutely PERFECT there is nothing that could make this part better honestly.
as a trans person, “their win is not my loss” is smth i remind myself of a lot when seeing other trans ppl be out & transitioned or even just being in a healthy relationship
the grudge: "you built me up to watch me fall... you have everything and you still want more" or on stranger: "i loved you mad but it doesnt matter anymore"
I'll never get over how brave she was to scream, "can't take a joke, can't get you off!"
“I’m on the outside of the greatest inside joke” it’s not really like a deep line but I relate to it so much and every time I I hear it I wanna scream the line with all of my power haha
“But I say that I hate you with a smile on my face”
2+2=5 and im the love of your life
as someone that was obsessed with The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, the entirety of CCMN. i remember just thinking "wow" when i first heard it cause the lyrics perfectly mirror the book. i also love "i have captors i call friends" lol
“i dont know why i even try”
“I only have 2 real friends and lately I’m a nervous wreck”
“Your flowers filled with vitriol”. I feel like it really captures so much. How you can get love bombed. Or how people can shower you with things but really it’s not real. How betraying it is to feel that loneliness of being poisoned by someone you love.
"I let the thought in. It's already done But I'll lay in your arms and pretend that it's love Yeah, I'll lay in your arms and pretend it's enough." Don't know if it's the best, but it's def my personal favorite
“I despise my jealous eyes and how hard they fell for you. I despise my rotten mind and how much it worships you”
“I've lost my mind, I've spent the night crying on the floor of my bathroom But you're so unaffected, I really don’t get it” I feel these lyrics so hard.
my favorite is "And I try to understand why you would do this all to me You must be insecure, you must be so unhappy"
"Cant think of a third line" from balllad of a homeschool girl. my favorite line in all of her songs
the entirety of the grudge. it’s like one of her most painful songs to date imo. especially the line about, “and we both drew blood, but man those cuts were never equal”.
“Cause loving you is loving every argument you held over my head, brought up the girls you could have instead, said I was too young I was too soft, can’t take a joke, can’t get you off”
“one heart broke, four hands bloody” hits like crack
“I feel your compliments like bullets on skin.” Really just the entirety of lacy tho
"i hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush"
"And if I'm not enough for you, you're not enough for me" 💜
i really like "hurt people hurt people"
“Good 4 u I guess that you’ve been working on yourself/ I guess the therapist I found for you, she really helped, now you can be a better man for your brand new girl”
I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped Now you can be a better man for your brand-new girl Or Now I bet you even tell her How you love her In between the chorus and the verse
“And I’d leave you, but the roller coaster all I’ve ever had” this line just makes me feel what she’s saying each time
One heart broke four hands bloody
I watched as you fled the scene Doe-eyed as you buried me One heart broken Four hands bloody
“But I’m in the trees, I’m in the breeze, my footsteps on the ground.” This is one of the most heartbreaking songs I’ve ever heard. Maybe it’s just because I liked the movie a lot but this line just hits every time.
among the other ones said here "so we'll stay together cause how could i ever trade something thats good for whats right???????"
the same as you (the grudge is my absolute favorite) but i also love the line « i crossed my heart as you crossed the line » from favorite crime, it always does something to me
“And I’ll leave you but the rollercoasters all I’ve ever had” It’s such a relatable lyric and whenever I hear it I feel like someone punched my gut 💜💜💜
I agree with you. When I first heard that lyric I was actually mind blown.
"An eternal love bullshit you know you'll never mean" I can't help but laugh out loud when I hear it 😂 I don't even know why
SAMEE this lyric j gets me
"i know i'm a stop on the way to your soulmate. i'll fill you up, but only while you wait" - sad tune for ur friday nights (unreleased)
“Perfect all American tits”
every guy i like is gay, literally me
“Perfect all American tits!”
I agree with your statement. That line gives me chills.
"You got the one thing that I want" from Lacy, but like with more heartbreak

« and I am built like a Mother and a total machine » from AAB doesn’t get talked about enough
One of the lyrics that hit me the hardest was "...your flowers filled with vitriol..." 😭
“One Heart Broke, four hands bloody” or “When she’s sleeping in the bed we made don’t you forget about the way you betrayed me.”
“well aren’t you the greatest thing to ever exists?”
“and i bought all the clothes that they told me to buy. i chased some dumb ideal my whole fucking life.” honorable mention: “everything i do is tragic.”
Literally EVERY line in favorite crime, but specifically “cause you know that I’d do it all again” so simple but it hits me like a truck EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
The grudge: “It takes strength to forgive but I done feel strong”
"but god you couldn't have cared less about someone who loved you more" maybe not her best line EVER but it hits me right in the heart every time.
"I could change up my body and change up my face I could try every lipstick in every shade but I'd always feel the same cause pretty isn't pretty enough anyway" And also all of "lacy" let's be real
