Lyrics of ' Ashley ' by Petit Lie

(By the girl who isn't her)

She wears perfume that says I'm fine
I wear hoodies and overanalyze
She drinks espresso with a fake French name
He calls her baby and I just say, same
She laughs like a scene from a movie kiss
I laugh too loud, then over-fix
And she's always right, like, even when she's wrong
She gets love letters, I get sad songs

She's not real, just a Barbie in my brain
But she gets him anyway

Her name's Ashley, and she never cries
Probably born with a wink in her eyes
Middle of August, blowing out flames
While I was busy learning how to fake
She's who he sees when he sees me
Perfectly crafted fantasy
Ashley's a dream, but I'm the one losing sleep

She reads books she doesn't even like
Quotes Shakespeare, but spells it Shayk-spear online
Her lipstick's red, her heart's on mute
And she never runs, she lets them pursue
I tried to hate her, but I made her up
From every girl he ever looked at once
She's part me, part wish, part fear
But somehow more her than I am here

I built her tall just to make me small
And let him fall, for nothing at all

Her name's Ashley (ashley), and she's never late (never late, wooah)
Says all the things I rehearse but break (rehearse but break)
Born the same week Leo season screams
While I'm stuck whispering in my dreams (woaah)
She wears cool (cool), I wear try (try)
He kissed me once, she kissed him in my mind (she kissed him in my mind)
Ashley's (ashley) not real, but I'm the one left behind

He doesn't even know her name
But I write it down like I'm the insane
I made her up with glitter and spite
She's everything I'm not, in perfect light

Her name's Ashley, and she's in my head
But he still falls for every word she said
She's just pixels in my pretty pain
But still gets credit when I'm to blame
I gave her lips, I gave her eyes
I gave her me, just more refined
Ashley's a lie, but she gets the guy
