diamond girl by courtlyn louise

She’s always gone after what she wants
Never thought about who she would step on
She doesn’t wear much makeup, which makes me hate myself more
And sometimes I think I wanna wear her skin

Sweet as sugar dripping from a honey jar
Gorgeous and confusing from afar

She is mean like Arcadian cruelty
Then goes home and combs her hair straight again
Simply thinks herself radiant royalty
And sometimes I think I want to put her in the ground

Golden daggers fly far from her brown eyes
Dreadful and endearing, but didn’t I

Kill her in my mind a thousand times?
Trying not to think about her every night
Someone told me so that I’d never be
Fine until I let her go

Irrationally I thought that we would be friends one day
But I know I wouldn’t like that
She tastes like resentment and sounds like a metaphor
For everything I want
