Everything She Does is Not Her Fault by Emily Berry Lyrics
The truth is, I didn't imagine I would melt this way,
down to my bones and my milk teeth, this old tin
I kept the things I lost in. I didn't imagine
you'd be round to see me like this, have to listen
to this rattling all night long. Darling, I don't know
if you thought about it, the way the round bone
of my cheek fits the bowl of your eye-socket exactly,
the slow blink of your still-lemonade eyes beneath my face,
each eyelash-graze a tiny sip like a bird drinking.
down to my bones and my milk teeth, this old tin
I kept the things I lost in. I didn't imagine
you'd be round to see me like this, have to listen
to this rattling all night long. Darling, I don't know
if you thought about it, the way the round bone
of my cheek fits the bowl of your eye-socket exactly,
the slow blink of your still-lemonade eyes beneath my face,
each eyelash-graze a tiny sip like a bird drinking.
