Baby
Sweetie
Princess
Snake your way into my heart
With sweet nicknames
Make me drunk on it
All the lies I want to hear
Baby
Sweetie
Princess
Snake your way in
Take what you want
Then leave without a peep
Quietly leave me to my memory
Baby
Sweetie
Princess
Depend on me
You promise
Depend on me
You couldn’t trust the last one
But you can trust me
You can… always trust me
Baby
Sweetie
Princess
Slithering in and slithering out
Charming and chasing and running away
Feeling and loving and changing your mind
And always naming me
Baby
Sweetie
Princess
Even as you can hear the tears falling down my face
And the angry fumes in my voice
Baby
Sweetie
Princess
I am not a princess
I am a queen
Passed down from many others before
I stand and breathe your air
But I am not the same as you
I am no sweetie
No baby
I am a storm
