Verse 1I am nothing without pretend
I know my faults
Can't live with them
I am nothing without a man
I know my thoughts
But I can't hide them
Verse 2I still keep my baby teeth
In the bedside table with my jewelry
You still sleep in the bed with me
My jewelry, and my baby teeth
Verse 3I don't need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with, I'm
Perfectly able to hold my own hand
But I still can't kiss my own neck
Verse 4I wanted to give you everything
But I still stand in awe of superficial things
I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mother's did
Civilian
