lyrics

lovely little lies can't keep you safe
porcelain looks so pretty till it breaks
you left no room for mistakes
"think plan do" she used to say to you
but you never listened anyway
now all the girls you love to hate
they watch, they wait
because its a sin to be dissatisfied
i should know, i've tried and tried
and its a crime i've come to love

i followed signs to a fantasy
where nobody was who they said they'd be
because they all love the lies, just like me
so passive, perfect, pleasant, politely
and it's a sin to be dissatisfied
i should know, i've tried and tried
and its a crime i've come to love

they would probably like you better
if you could be a little less pulled together
he would probably like you better
if you could be a little less puled together

you've got to play beautiful and hard
follow all the rules that you learned on the school yard
keep up with the friends you fear
you've got to keep your enemies nearest and dearest
don't you know?
well its a sin to be dissatisfied
i should know, i've tried and tried
and its a crime i've come to love

they would probably like you better
if you could be a little less pulled together
he would probably like you better
if you could be a little less pulled together

you better pull yourself together
you better you better keep it all together
you better keep that smile on your face forever and ever
you better pull yourself together
its a crime i've come to love

they would probably like you better
if you could be a little less pulled together
he would probably like you better
if you could be a little less pulled together
