lilac skies - preference Lyrics

You said your ex was your ideal type
And that you don't like to lie
And force fake compliments, so why try?
I said my love language is words of praise
But I can't even count the days
That you've said something nice to me
Or it's a paraphrase
'Cause every time I dress up
I wish I never tried at all
It'd hurt less, even if you lied
Each time I ask if I look nice
And you just hum some sort of sigh
I wish I could cry, change out of my dress
Goodnight
Everyone has a preference
You're not the villain, I'm not the reference
But why lie with malevolence?
Can't you spare some reverence?
You like my personality at best
But nothing else pasts the test
I'm not your inherent request
Don't lie to yourself and just confess
That every time I dress up
You wish I never tried at all
It'd hurt less, even if you lied
Each time I ask if I look nice
And you just hum some sort of sigh
I wish I could cry, change out of my dress
Goodnight
If I'm not what you wanted
Then just say it
I don't believe that it's just not your habit
If I even have to ask it
There's no point to try mask it
I'm not what you wanted
I admit it
I chased you and you yielded
Now I've pleaded
Oh I'm conceded
To think I'd ever exceed me
'Cause every time I dress up
I wish I never tried at all
It'd hurt less, even if you lied
Each time I ask if I look nice
And you just hum some sort of sigh
I wish I could die, change out of my dress
Goodnight.
