Song lyrics
Oh so you do have a type?
And it's not me
Oh so you can reply?
Just to not me
If you wanted brown eyes
I could have got contacts
So y'all are in Paris now?
Guess it's public
Face like that other girl
You're in love with
You knew I would see that
You knew I would notice
She looks nothing like me
Can't really tell should I be
Tryna take it as a compliment
It's kinda feeling like the opposite
She looks nothing like me
So why do you look so happy?
Now I think I get the cause of it
You were holding out to find the opposite
And I know now
Even if I tried to change
That somehow
You'd end up with her anyway
Oh I know now
Even if I tried to change
That somehow
You'd end up with her anyway
Does she say nothing so you feel good?
Does she step out of the spotlight so you bathe in it?
Does she get up on top of you more than I would?
Does she just love the picture 'cause you're painting it?
I care but I don't
Just wondering when you
Said I'm beautiful
Was I being lied to?
She looks nothing like me
Can't really tell should I be
Tryna take it as a compliment
It's kinda feeling like the opposite
She looks nothing like me
So why do you look so happy?
Now I think I get the cause of it
You were holding out to find the opposite
And I know now
Even if I tried to change
That somehow
You'd end up with her anyway
Oh I know now
Even if I tried to change
That somehow
You'd end up with her anyway
End up with her anyway
