I just made something
Unexpected
Something sharp
Something new
It's not symmetrical or perfect
But it's beautiful
And it's mine
What else can I do?
And ain't it funny how you ran to her
The second that we called it quits?
And ain't it funny how you said you were friends?
Now it sure as hell don't look like it
A hurricane of jacarandas
Strangling figs (big)
Hanging vines (this is fine)
Palma de cera fills the air as I climb
And I push through
What else can I do?
Now you bring her around, just to shut me down
Show her off like she's a new trophy
And I know if you were true, there's no damn way that you
Could fall in love with somebody that quickly
I grow rows and rows of roses
Flor de mayo, by the mile
I make perfect, practiced poses
So much hides behind my smile
You betrayed me
And I know that you'll never feel sorry
For the way I hurt, yeah
You talked to her when we were together
Loved you at your worst but that didn't matter
It took you two weeks to go off and date her
Guess you didn't cheat but you're still a traitor
Can I deliver us a river of sundew?
Careful, it's carnivorous, a little just won't do
I wanna feel the shiver of something new
I'm so sick of pretty, I want something true, don't you?
God, I wish that you had thought this through
Before I went and fell in love with you
When she's sleeping in the bed we made
Don't you dare forget about the way
A hurricane of jacarandas (whoo!)
Strangling figs (go!)
Hanging vines (grow!)
Palma de cera fills the air as I climb
And I push through
What else, what else?
What can you do when you are deeply, madly, truly in the moment?
Seize the moment, keep goin'
What can you do when you know who you wanna be is imperfect?
But I'll still be okay (hey, everybody clear the way, whoo!)
I'm coming through with tabebuia (she's coming through with that booyah!)
Making waves (making waves)
Changing minds (you've changed mine)
The way is clearer 'cause you're here, and well
I owe this all to you, what else can I do? (show 'em what you can do)
What else can I do? (there's nothing you can't do)
What else can I do? (but you're still)
You're still a traitor
Yeah, you're still a traitor
God, I wish that you had thought this through
Before I went and fell in love with you
