Grace Gardner - Firing Sideways
I mentioned you to JackWho mentioned you to Taylor
They didn't have your name
On the guest list at the Empire
You swore you'd done me a favor
Mmm
By trying to pin me down
Before I had the chance to say something big about the way
My name still lives in your mouth
And it's rent-free, made a home now
With wood scraps and a casting couch
You should've just told me
If what you wanted was someone conniving,
I can give it to you
What kind of favor would it be
If you got up to leave
Rotting in my rearview
I spoke with your biggest fear
She's insignificance,
So deep-seeded, just waiting here for you
To let loose one single tear
You're robotic, formulaic,
Suffocated if you couldn't rent an ear
They're bleeding when you talk
Tiptoeing on a fault line,
You think it's me or nobody at all
And you'd bet everything you've got
On big shots firing sideways
But name recognition is worth the clot
You could've just told me
If what you needed was arm candy,
I can fake it for a night
But what you crave, baby,
A trophy worth noting
I can't fake that for life
That second fear came true
Remember how you begged and pleaded me
To not say jack shit about you
Well, I tried the best I could do
But the truth is, storyteller,
Somebody else will bring you back to bloom,
then kill you too
