Kelsea Ballerini - kelsea Album Lyrics

Momma says, that I never met a stranger
Strange thing is everybody's strangers
Guess, I've just been walkin' around with my foot in my mouth
Most of my life
Truth is, conversations make me anxious
Even if we're on a first name basis
Same story for the hundredth time and they roll their eyes
Cause it's TMI

I overshare, because I over-care
About the person over there, who's completely unaware that
I overthink, then I overdrink to overcompensate
Yeah, I know, there's moments that I'm missin'
If I'd just shut up and listen
But silence makes me scared
So then I overshare

Like that time, I was overserved on Broadway
Outside the bathroom, cryin' in the hallway
Tellin' every girl that walked by, never date a guy whose name starts with A'
Or the night, that I met somebody famous
I acted a fool, so they'll remain nameless
I showed Instagrams of my dog
Aired all of my laundry
Now I'm just the girl that overshared

I overshare, because I over-care
About the person over there, who's completely unaware that
I overthink, then I overdrink to overcompensate
Yeah, I know, there's moments that I'm missin'
If I'd just shut up and listen
But silence makes me scared
So then I overshare

I'm over overanalyzin'
Over all this, over-tryin'
Maybe I should just stay quiet
But I can't
Over overanalyzin'
Over all this, over-tryin'
Maybe I should just stay quiet
But I can't

I overshare, because I over-care
About the person over there, who's completely unaware that
I overthink, then I overdrink to overcompensate
Yeah, I know, there's moments that I'm missin'
If I'd just shut up and listen
But silence makes me scared
So then I overshare

So then I overshare
So then I overshare
So then I overshare

Momma says, that I never met a stranger
Strange thing is everybody's strangers
Guess, I've just been walkin' around with my foot in my mouth
Most of my life
Truth is, conversations make me anxious
Even if we're on a first name basis
Same story for the hundredth time and they roll their eyes
Cause it's TMI

I overshare, because I over-care
About the person over there, who's completely unaware that
I overthink, then I overdrink to overcompensate
Yeah, I know, there's moments that I'm missin'

So then I overshare
So then I overshare
So then I overshare

Hey homecoming queen
Why do you lie
When somebody's mean?
Where do you hide?
Do people assume
You're always alright?
Been so good at smiling
Most of your life

Look damn good in the dress
Zipping up the mess
Dancing with your best foot forward
Does it get hard
To have to play the part?
Nobody's feeling sorry for ya

But what if I told you the world wouldn't end
If you started showing what's under your skin
What if you let 'em all in on the lie?
Even the homecoming queen cries

Hey homecoming queen
How's things at home?
Still walking on eggshells
When that curtain's closed
Did your daddy teach you
How to act tough?
Or more like your momma?
Sweep it under the rug

Look damn good in the dress
Zipping up the mess
Dancing with your best foot forward
Did you want the crown
Or does it weigh you down
Nobody's feeling sorry for ya

What if I told you the world wouldn't end
If you started showing what's under your skin?
What if you let 'em all in on the lie?
Even the homecoming queen cries
Yeah, what if I told you the sky wouldn't fall?
If you lost your composure, said to hell with it all
Not everything pretty sparkles and shines
And even the homecoming queen cries
Oh yeah
Even the homecoming queen cries

Hey homecoming queen
Why do you lie?
When somebody's mean
Where do you hide?

(with Halsey)

I bet you're from out West somewhere
Hazel eyes and dark brown hair
And everything you wear fits you just right
I bet you drink martinis dry
And never let him see you cry
I bet you're more promiscuous than I

I bet you're bold
I bet that's why
You seem to occupy his mind
I bet you're smart
But do you know about me?

Is it me, is it you?
Tell me who
Who's the other girl?
Who's the first?
Who's the fool?
Who's the diamond?
Who's the pearl?
Are you mad?
Me too
And I wonder in his world
Is it me, is it you?
Who's the other girl?

Who's gonna put on the red dress
Scarlett letter on her chest
Can't love with this on her conscience
Tell me who's the other girl, girl, girl, girl

Are you the one he's talkin' to
When he gets up and leaves the room
And comes back with a distance in his eyes?
Maybe I should be the one to leave?
But damn when he starts lovin' me
Makes me think I'm all that's on his mind

Is it me, is it you?
Tell me who
Who's the other girl?
Who's the first?
Who's the fool?
Who's the diamond?
Who's the pearl?
Are you mad?
Me too
And I wonder in his world
Is it me, is it you?
Who's the other girl?

Who's gonna put on the red dress
Scarlett letter on her chest
Can't love with this on her conscience
Tell me who's the other girl, girl, girl, girl

I bet you're cool
I bet that's why
You seem to occupy his time
I bet by now
You know about me
You know about me

Is it me, is it you?
Tell me who
Who's the other girl?
Who's the first?
Who's the fool?
Who's the diamond?
Who's the pearl?
Are you mad?
Me too
And I wonder in his world
Is it me, is it you?
Who's the other girl?

Who's gonna put on the red dress
Scarlett letter on her chest
Can't love with this on her conscience
Tell me who's the other girl, girl, girl, girl

Sometimes I don't like what's in the mirror
Uncomfortable standin' in my skin
Yeah, sometimes I feel a little broken
Doesn't mean I need to be put together again

So, when I'm cryin'
Baby let me cry
Don't fix it
Don't try to make it right

I wish you could love me like a girl
I wish you could love me like a girl
Cause my friends, they don't hurt me, baby, not like you
Yeah, I wish you could know me, baby, like they do
I wish you could get inside my head
Baby, maybe then you'd understand
Why I wish you could love me like a girl

I know, you don't mean to be insensitive
And I know, you're never tryin' to brush me off
The truth is me and you, we're wired different
So it makes sense sometimes we get crossed

So when I'm cryin'
Baby pour some red
When you want to kiss it better
Listen instead

I wish you could love me like a girl
I wish you could love me like a girl
Cause my friends, they don't hurt me, baby, not like you
Yeah, I wish you could know me, baby, like they do
I wish you could get inside my head
Baby, maybe then you'd understand
Why I wish you could love me like a girl
I wish you could love me like a girl

I love the way you make me feel like I'm safely
In the palm of your hand
And I love the way you hold me, in the dark, babe
Yeah, just like a man

But I wish you could love me like a girl
I wish you could love me like a girl
Cause my friends, they don't hurt me, baby, not like you

(feat. Kenny Chesney)

Half of my high school got too drunk
Half of my high school fell in love
With the girl next door
In their daddy's Ford
Half of my main street's mini skirts
Half of my main street's dressed for church
It could use some rain
And a fresh coat of paint

Half of my hometown's still hangin' around
Still talkin' about that one touchdown
They're still wearin' red and black
Go Bobcats, while the other half
Of my hometown they all got out
Some went north
Some went south
Still lookin' for a feelin' half of us ain't found
So stay or leave
Part of me will always be
Half of my hometown

Half of our prom queens cut their hair
Half of them think that it ain't fair
The quarterback moved away and never came back
Half of my family is happy I left
The other half worries I'll just forget
Where I came from
Same place where they came from

Half of my hometown's still hangin' around
Still talkin' about that one touchdown
They're still wearin' red and black
Go Bobcats, while the other half
Of my hometown they all got out
Some went north
Some went south
Still lookin' for a feelin' half of us ain't found
So stay or leave
Part of me will always be
Half of my hometown
Half of my hometown

Backroads raise us
Highways they take us
Memories make us wanna go back

To our hometown, settle down
Talk about that one touchdown
Raise some kids in red and black
Go Bobcats, while the other half
Of my hometown was in the crowd
They knew the words
They sang them loud
And all I wanna do is make them proud
Cause half of me will always be
Knoxville, Tennessee
My hometown
My hometown

Sometimes I don't like what's in the mirror
Uncomfortable standin' in my skin
Yeah, sometimes I feel a little broken
Doesn't mean I need to be put together again

So, when I'm cryin'
Baby let me cry
Don't fix it
Don't try to make it right

I wish you could love me like a girl
I wish you could love me like a girl
Cause my friends, they don't hurt me, baby, not like you
Yeah, I wish you could know me, baby, like they do
