Sip it down, zip it up
It's no time to be caught
In the rain
To be dreaming
There's a bird on the wire
Looking into the world
That you made
And he's singing
About all the things you wrote down
Locked up safe in your diary
Thought I heard him say you're waiting
Sick and you're tired, but you're sorry
You're beautiful
I hate you
You're beautiful
I hate you
You're smiling
And happy
But just know
I hate you
Wrap it up, keep it in
So the camera can
Pick up the life
That you're leading
Look alive, look okay
So he won't get the sense
That you're dead
Or you're leaving
To pack up all the things
You left on the roof by the chimney
To get away from all the let down
Bargains and misery
You're beautiful
I hate you
You're beautiful
I hate you
You're smiling
And happy
But just know
I hate you
Though it seems like
You know what you're doing
I can tell by the reflections
That you're screwing
Everything up
With your false teeth
And your daggers
In your green rooms and your lounges
Writing songs about her
Please, let it lie
Please, just let it lie
This sleeping dog has a home tonight
But sleep with you and she'll be out for life
So, looks like it's okay
So, looks like it's just fine
For him to get what he deserves
For you to get what you deserve
You're beautiful
I hate you
You're beautiful
I hate you
