  • Want it, so I got it, did it, so it's done
    Another thing I ruined, I used to do for fun
    Another piece of plastic I could just throw away
    Another conversation with nothing good to say
    I thought it, so I said it, took it 'cause I can
    Another day pretendin' I'm older than I am
    Another perfect moment that doesn't feel like mine
    Another thing I forced to be a sign

    Well, sometimes I feel like I don't wanna be where I am
    Gettin' drunk at a club with my fair-weather friends
    Push away all the people who know me the best
    But it's me who's been makin' the bed
    I'm so tired of bein' the girl that I am
    Every good thing has turned into something I dread
    And I'm playin' the victim so well in my head
    But it's me who's been makin' the bed

    Me who's been makin' the bed
    Pull the sheets over my head
    Makin' the bed

    And every night, I wake up from this one recurrin' dream
    I'm drivin' through the city and the brakes go out on me
    I can't stop at the red light, can't swerve off the road
    I read somewhere it's 'cause my life feels so out of control
    And I tell someone I love them, just as a distraction
    They tell me that they love me, like I'm some tourist attraction
    They're changin' my machinery and I just let it happen
    I got the things I wanted, it's just not what I imagined

    Well, sometimes I feel like I don't wanna be where I am
    Gettin' drunk at a club with my fair-weather friends
    Push away all the people who know me the best
    But it's me who's been makin' the bed
    I'm so tired of bein' the girl that I am
    Every good thing has turned into something I dread
    And I'm playin' the victim so well in my head
    But it's me who's been makin' the bed

    Me who's been makin' the bed
    Pull the sheets over my head
    Makin' the bed

    Sometimes I feel like I don't wanna be where I am
    Countin' all of the beautiful things I regret
    But it's me who's been makin' the bed
    Me who's been makin' the bed
    Pull the sheets over my head
    Makin' the bed, oh Writer/s: Daniel Nigro, Olivia Rodrigo
