Gold Stars

by My Girl Friday

on Androgynous Mary (2020)

[Verse 1]
Will you rip my gold stars off the wall?
If I didn't flinch, would you love me more?
I love you with my words, but they fall out of my hands
I'm on fire, but you just see the warmth

[Verse 2]
Swimming through my spine, now wring me out
Broken feet sublime, take a walk about
I hate the way you lie, and you hate the way I pout
I'm alive, but you just see the doubt

[Chorus]
You say I cut my hair like flowers
For your pleasure and your power
In a vase you call me lovely
Though I hurt you, ask no questions
I said, "Leave," I said, "Leave," I said, "Leave"
But you heard, "Love"

[Verse 3]
Will you bend the bars of my prison cell?
If I break the rules, do we meet in Hell?
My body is a gun, and you keep it in your bed
I'm a man, but you just see a chest

[Chorus]
You say I cut my hair like flowers
For your pleasure and your power
In a vase you call me lovely
Though I hurt you, ask no questions
I said, "Leave," I said, "Leave," I said, "Leave"
But you heard, "Love"

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You say I cut my hair like flowers
For your pleasure and your power
In a vase you call me lovely
Though I hurt you, ask no questions
I said, "Leave," I said, "Leave," I said, "Leave"
But you heard, "Love"
