petal lyrics

tryna feel something real
to cry again
they say the artist needs tears
to write again
'cause all of my favorite stories
end in some kind of catastrophe
but i don't need someone to save me
'cause this music and i will never die
it's such a fucked situation
petal in the pavement
just as long as she keeps getting it right
heartbreak won't bite
here in paradise
such a convenient conflation
this record in rotation
long as she gets the ovation each night
heartbreak won't bite
this is paradise
i hear them all say ooh
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
they say (ooh-ooh, ooh) ( ooh-ooh, ooh))
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
tell me, who's to blame?
is it the people or myself?
but this time feels so very different
this is not a cry for help
a couple million for my thoughts
i've got plenty
but i am not a victim, bitch
i'm practically drowning in my blessings
it's bye this time for real
tired of painting endless pictures
of a life that isn't mine
trying different boys on for size
if this is my curse, i'll let it ride, ride
'cause all of my favorite stories
end in some kind of catastrophe
but i don't need someone to save me
'cause this music and i will never die
it's such a fucked situation
petal in the pavement
just as long as she keeps getting it right
heartbreak won't bite
here in paradise
such a convenient conflation
this record in rotation
long as she gets the ovation each night
heartbreak won't bite
this is paradise
i hear them all say ooh
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
they say (ooh-ooh, ooh) ( ooh-ooh, ooh))
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
i hear them all say
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
they say (ooh-ooh, ooh) ( ooh-ooh, ooh))
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
