petal (Explicit) - Ariana Grande
Lyrics by:Ariana Grande
Composed by:Ariana Grande/ILYA/Max Martin
Produced by:Ariana Grande/ILYA/Max Martin
Tryna feel something real
To cry again
They say the artist needs tears
To write again
'Cause all of my favorite stories
End in some kind of catastrophe
But I don't need someone to save me
'Cause this music and I will never die
It's such a fucked situation
Petal in the pavement
Just as long as she keeps getting it right
Heartbreak won't bite
Here in paradise
Such a convenient conflation
This record in rotation
Long as she gets the ovation each night
Heartbreak won't bite
This is paradise
I hear them all say ooh
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
They say ooh-ooh ooh
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh
Tell me who's to blame?
Is it the people or myself?
But this time feels so very different
This is not a cry for help
A couple million for my thoughts
I've got plenty
But I am not a victim bitch
I'm practically drowning in my blessings
It's bye this time for real
Tired of painting endless pictures
Of a life that isn't mine
Trying different boys on for size
If this is my curse I'll let it ride ride
'Cause all of my favorite stories
End in some kind of catastrophe
But I don't need someone to save me
'Cause this music and I will never die
It's such a fucked situation
Petal in the pavement
Just as long as she keeps getting it right
Heartbreak won't bite
Here in paradise
Such a convenient conflation
This record in rotation
Long as she gets the ovation each night
Heartbreak won't bite
This is paradise
I hear them all say ooh
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
They say ooh-ooh ooh
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh
I hear them all say
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
They say ooh-ooh ooh
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh
