Lauren Mayberry - Change Shapes | LYRIC VISUALIZER

♫♫♫♫♫

It's exhausting trying so hard 

all the time

Performative hypocrisy 

took over my mind

I'm a doll inside a box

With a ball and a chain

I bend over backwards, 

tiptoe along every wire

Guess I'm quite the actress, 

no one knows I'm a liar

I'm preaching to the choir

I'm a body for hire

ah....

And I think you should know

I change shapes 'til I get 

what I want from you

It's your game, now you're mad 

that I learned the rules

I change shapes, I change shapes 

for you (Ooh, ah)

I change shapes 'til I get 

what I need from you

We're all snakes, but what else 

is a girl supposed to do?

I change shapes, 

but you never do (Ooh)

It makes me nauseous waiting 

for slips of the tongue

God, I know you love it 

when you're eating your young

It's a really bad habit

Playing dead and dumb

It's a precaution, 

playing a smile on a loop

Specific choreography 

for jumping through hoops

I'm a masochist, a martyr

Who won't stop turning 

the screw 

(ah)....

And I think you should know

I change shapes 'til I get 

what I want from you

It's your game, now you're mad 

that I learned the rules

I change shapes, I change shapes 

for you (Ooh, ah)

I change shapes 'til I get 

what I need from you

We're all snakes, but what else 

is a girl supposed to do?

I change shapes, 

but you never do (Ooh)

I've been foolish, 

let you fool me twice

Wonder what would happen 

if you learned to play nice

So now I'm running, 

gonna roll that dice

Wonder what would happen 

if you changed

Yeah, right

I change shapes 'til I get 

what I want from you

It's your game, now you're mad 

that I learned the rules

I change shapes, I change shapes 

for you (Ooh, ah)

I change shapes 'til I get 

what I need from you

We're all snakes, but what else 

is a girl supposed to do?

I change shapes, but you never do
