This is easy.
I was so good at being everyone's girlfriend,
so good at being quiet and pretty,
putting on makeup and taking off clothes.

So this is easy.
I get to be an air headed boy,
and you fucking love it,
of course you do.
Knew you would like me,
that I could get you hooked.
This is easy.

Your lips on my neck was the worst thing I ever felt,
the way my stomach turned-
you're lucky I'm never going to tell you about it.

I only like boys until they're really there.
Guess I learned that the hard way.
I don't want to touch you and
I hate the way you breathe around me.
you're lucky I'm never going to tell you about it
when you're so easy to open up to,
like a jar of apricot preserves-
so sweet, could sink right in.
and I'm an open god damn book.
You're lucky I have nothing else to say.
