Do you want to know why
I fall for boys so easily
men so easily
they're men so easily
so easily
and I fall for their pretends
their charms on necklaces
because
I believe everything they say, they
see it in my eyes and my face, they
see all the things I want to hear and
close my eyes, it's sweet mmm mmms
i'm swaying and they're catching, i'm
a butterfly and they're the nets, then i'm a
fish and they're the boats my
eyes are wide and pleading
i thought
i thought
i thought
you were different
my big fish eyes thinking
i'm out of air, i'm tangled in fingers
your words are like burrs, steel traps
catching my feet, teeth snapping around my ankles

It's my fault.
