Bones

I wish that you could see who I really am
It sucks being a woman in love
With an unkind man
‘Cause baby I would give you the world,
In fact I already do
And how do you repay that?
Talk to me like I’m just a regular tramp
Trying to screw you over
Do you even have a clue what I gave up just to be here?
To serve your ass with steak and beer

Baby that’s love
Baby that’s real
And all I’ve ever wanted was for your damn arms
To wrap themselves around me and say

Hey girl, you’re the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me
Hey girl, you’re the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me

I’m not trying to play the victim
Don’t wanna go head to head
But boy, I shouldn’t have to stand in the mirror
Convincing myself I’m thin
Baby that’s your job to do
Baby you should think I’m beautiful
Why you wanna watch the set
When I’m laying right next to you in our own room?
I feel like you don’t even know I’m there
But I put a brush through my hair for you
Run my fingertips over your back real smooth

'Cause boy I need love
I don’t get enough
And all I ever wanted is for your damn arms
To put themselves around me and say

Hey girl, you’re the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me
Hey girl, you’re the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me

I look you dead in the eye and say I love you
In the eye and say I want you
In the eye and say this is what I’m asking for
How could you sit and stare at the wall?
Do you even like me at all?
Stop talking ‘bout making it better
It ain’t that complicated, I just wanna feel your arms around me, baby

Please say, girl, you’re the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me
Hey girl, you’re the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me

Please, please, baby, it’s a woman’s dream
