[Chorus]
I can’t paint on a smile, no, I’ll never be tamed
I’m a bird in the sky, don’t belong in a cage
I would die in the crowd
I’m alive on the stage
I could never, I could never
Ever-ever, ever be Jane

[Verse 1]
She makes me nervous
She’s everything that I’m not
She’s so damn perfect
Mirror, mirror on the wall, tellin’ her she’s got it all
She makes me jealous
Don’t gotta care in the world
Don’t know what hell is
Fire underneath my feet, see the devil in my sleep

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, I might be dramatic
So-oh, oh-oh-oh, I like it cinematic
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
I can’t paint on a smile, no, I’ll never be tamed
I’m a bird in the sky, don’t belong in a cage
I would die in the crowd
I’m alive on the stage
I could never, I could never
Ever-ever, ever be Jane

[Post-Chorus]
I could never, I could never
Ever-ever, ever be Jane
J-A-A-A-A, Jane
I could never, I could never
Ever-ever, ever be Jane
J-A-A-A-A, Jane

[Open Verse 2]

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, I might be dramatic
So-oh, oh-oh-oh, I like it cinematic
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
I can’t paint on a smile, no, I’ll never be tamed
I’m a bird in the sky, don’t belong in a cage
I would die in the crowd
I’m alive on the stage
I could never, I could never
Ever-ever, ever be Jane

[Post-Chorus]
I could never, I could never
Ever-ever, ever be Jane
J-A-A-A-A, Jane
I could never, I could never
Ever-ever, ever be Jane
J-A-A-A-A, Jane

[Chorus]
Playin' with his guns and roses
Fire on the seven oceans
Didn't know how far I had to fall
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-oh)
Baby, if it's really over, guess it was nice to know ya
Nothin' lasts forever after all
Nothin' lasts forever after all (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
All
Nothin' lasts forever after all (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)

Baby, I Do

Every step I take trembles underneath me,
Like the wood remembers things I swore I’d forget.
Every shift, every creak feels familiar,
Like the house is calling out the secrets I’ve kept.

There’s a rhythm in the planks when I’m walking,
A quiet pulse that follows me from room to room.
It’s like they feel the weight I carry in my chest—
Like they know what I’m scared to tell too soon.

And every time the boards bend,
I swear they’re saying my name.
Like they know what I deny—
Know exactly where to aim.

The floorboards know the things I hide,
They hear the cries I never said out loud.
Every creak is a truth I tried to bury,
But it rises through the wood somehow.

The floorboards know when my heart is heavy,
They feel it every time I break inside.
No matter how soft I try to step,
Baby, they hear every lie.

I’ve walked these rooms in silence for years now,
Trying not to leave the weight of who I’ve been behind.
But the floor still shifts under every heartbeat,
Like it knows the nights I didn’t feel alive.

Sometimes I freeze just to stop the sound,
As if the house can’t hear me if I don’t move.
But the truth vibrates through every sliver of wood—
There’s nothing here I can keep from view.

The house learns you slowly,
Takes in everything you bring.
And these boards don’t forget—
They echo everything.

The floorboards know the things I hide,
They hear the cries I never said out loud.
Every creak is a truth I tried to bury,
But it rises through the wood somehow.

The floorboards know when my heart is heavy,
They feel it every time I break inside.
No matter how soft I try to step,
Baby, they hear every lie.

And sometimes late at night,
I swear they speak back to me—
Little groans of memories
I didn’t mean to leave.
They carry every version of me,
Pressed into the grain—
A record of the moments
I couldn’t hold,
I couldn’t name.

The floorboards know the things I hide,
They hear the cries I never said out loud.
Every creak is a truth I tried to bury,
But it rises through the wood somehow.

The floorboards know when my heart is heavy,
They feel it every time I break inside.
No matter how soft I try to step,
Baby, they hear every lie.

I move slow, but they still hear it—
All the weight beneath my feet.
These floorboards know me better
Than anyone I’ll ever meet.
