Not How It’s Supposed To Go

[Verse 1]
Be a good girl, pretty housewife
Need to have sex every night
Remove all hair from your body
But don't you dare cut yourself 'cause

[Pre-Chorus]
He might see you bleed
All these expectations please
Hold yourself up to a standard for somebody else's needs
Wipe the tears off of your cheeks
Yeah, this man should set you free
But it didn't work for me

[Chorus]
(Ooh) I was filling up my head with those lies
Tryna tell me everything's fucking fine
I wanted love, you know I wanted it so right
Oh, now I know that's not how it's supposed to go
(Ooh) I made a wish into a fallen eyelash
It flew away, and so I took my life back
I wanted love, you know I wanted it so bad
Oh, now I know that's not how it's supposed to go

[Verse 2]
Setting small fires, little tantrums
Break the drywall with your fist, I'll
Tell myself that this is normal
Just a bandage on my hand 'cause

[Pre-Chorus]
He might see you bleed
All these expectations please
Hold yourself up to a standard for somebody else's needs
Wipe the tears off of your cheeks
Yeah, this man should set you free
But it didn't work for me

[Chorus]
(Ooh) I was filling up my head with those lies
Tryna tell me everything's fucking fine
I wanted love, you know I wanted it so right
Oh, now I know that's not how it's supposed to go
(Ooh) I made a wish into a fallen eyelash
It flew away, and so I took my life back
I wanted love, you know I wanted it so bad
Oh, now I know that's not how it's supposed to go

[Bridge]
Oh, no
Oh, no, mm-mm
La-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la
I wanted love, you know I wanted it so bad

[Chorus]
Oh, (Ooh) I was filling up my head with those lies
Tryna tell me everything's fucking fine (Oh-ohh)
I wanted love, you know I wanted it so right
Oh, now I know that's not how it's supposed to go (Ohh)
(Ooh) I made a wish into a fallen eyelash
It flew away, and so I took my life back
I wanted love, you know I wanted it so bad
Oh, now I know that's not how it's supposed to go
