Lyrics

High Horse

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

She is fiction

She's a curse

She's a pretty thing on a high, high shelf

You've got your eyes open

You know your worth

But there's so many things you want for yourself

We get what we deserve

We never really learn

I keep tallies

I keep score

I'm a petty thing on a high, high horse

You've got your mouth open

I hold my tongue

There's so many things that we can't ignore

We get what we deserve

We never really learn, or do we?

I'm done thinking about it

You're never gonna get what you want

So why feel guilty about it?

I'm done thinking about it

You're never gonna get what you want

So why feel guilty about it?

You're a sweetheart

You're a curse

You're a passing grade on a low, low bar

You've got your eyes open

I know your worth

But I've got so many things in my hungry, hungry heart

We get what we deserve, don't we?

We never really learn, or do we?

I'm done thinking about it

You're never gonna get what you want

So why feel guilty about it?

I'm done thinking about it

You're never gonna get what you want

So why feel guilty about it?

You are never gonna change her mind, so don't try

You are never gonna change her mind, so don't try

I'm done thinking about it

You're never gonna get what you want

So why feel guilty about it?

I'm done thinking about it

You're never gonna get what you want

So why feel guilty about it?

I'm done thinking about it

You're never gonna get what you want

So why feel guilty about it?

I'm done thinking about it

You're never gonna get what you want

So why feel guilty about it?
