Third Plate

Sanoitukset

[Verse 1] She gets the velvet chair You get the crumbs by the sink She walks in, every head turns You’re left with the dishes to rinse Her name on the cake Your name stuck in the drawer You hold the whole house up Still, she asks for more [Pre-Chorus] You knock, she don’t look up You speak, she talks over you Same old crown on her head Same old room running through And you’re right there But it feels so far Like you’re made of glass In the edge of her yard [Chorus] Princess treatment I’m stuck in the shadow Princess treatment You get the soft hello Princess treatment I’m the one she forgets Princess treatment But I still know what I get (Princess treatment) (I see it) (Princess treatment) (I need it too) [Verse 2] She gets the first slice You get the plate with the crack She cries and the whole world bends You swallow yours and step back Mom says, “Be patient” Like patience is a prize But you’ve been the quiet one With the storm in your eyes [Pre-Chorus] You knock, she don’t look up You speak, she talks over you Same old crown on her head Same old room running through And you’re right there But it feels so far Like you’re made of glass In the edge of her yard [Chorus] Princess treatment I’m stuck in the shadow Princess treatment You get the soft hello Princess treatment I’m the one she forgets Princess treatment But I still know what I get (Princess treatment) (I see it) (Princess treatment) (I need it too) [Bridge] One day I’ll stop waiting By the door for my turn I won’t dim my own name Just to keep the peace preserved If love has a favorite Then say it to my face I’m not made for begging I was made to take up space [Final Chorus] Princess treatment I’m done in the shadow Princess treatment You get the soft hello Princess treatment I’m not your quiet regret Princess treatment Now I know what I get (Princess treatment) (I see it) (Princess treatment) (I need it too)
