POSSESSION Lyrics by Melanie Martinez
I hit my head real hard, I woke up in a jar
On top of his blue metal shelf full of trinkets
He’d dust me off each day, I’m made of porcelain clay
I feed him kisses so I don’t break down to pieces
And now he’s hungry, I’ll feed him candy
You’re screamin’ at me loud, screamin’ at me loud, screamin’ at me loud
Baby, I’m your possession, handle me like a ***
Gaslight me right, tell me, “Keep quiet”
I’ll go along, di-di-dum
Put me up like a prize, I’ll be a good housewife
You won’t see me cry when women come by
I’ll go along, di-di-dum
Dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum
Dum, dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum
Dum, dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di, dum, di-di-dum
Dum, dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum
He leaves me all alone, from dusk to ***’ dawn
I’ll clean up after all his ***, I’m the housekeeper
He comes home drunk at night, of course he picks a fight
I try my best to bite my tongue, but it keeps bleedin’
How could he love me if he won’t see me?
I’m crying with a knife, wanna take my life, never treats me right
Baby, I’m your possession, handle me like a ***
Gaslight me right, tell me, “Keep quiet”
I’ll go along, di-di-dum
Put me up like a prize, I’ll be a good housewife
You won’t see me cry when women come by
I’ll go along, di-di-dum
Dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum
Dum, dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum
Dum, dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di, dum, di-di-dum
Dum, dum, dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum, di-di-dum
Took the keys and left, drove into a tree
Looked around for a minute, people starin’ at me
A concussion reversin’ all the damage I had
May be bruised, but it’s not that bad
