"Attention" lyrics

"Attention"

Bought a "notice me" dress
It was crazy expensive
And you didn't even look up
Kissed your friend in a bar
Wasn't subtle or dark
But somehow it wasn't enough

You're not even missing me
And you're supposed to be
It's got me thinking crazy things
I brought it up in therapy
Very carefully
Simply hypothetically

If I crashed my car
If I broke my arm
Got bit by a shark
Would you care then?
Would you care then?
If my heart gave out
If my house burned down
Baby, do I have to fly halfway to Heaven
Just to get your attention?

I read into the way that you're giving me space
Am I that easy to let go of?
Part of me thinks you're strategically cruel
And part of me thinks you're just dumb

Ooh, I've dyed my hair and dyed it back
And not a word, what's up with that?
God, it's like you don't react
Ooh, yeah, maybe I'm a masochist
I'm getting close to over it
That I've been wondering just for kicks

If I crashed my car
If I broke my arm
Got bit by a shark
Would you care then?
Would you care then?
If my heart gave out
If my house burned down
Baby, do I have to fly halfway to Heaven
Just to get your attention?

Ooh, yeah, ooh
Gotta love my life
No, I don't wanna die
But if I let go of the wheel
Would that make you feel?
Would that make you feel?

If I crashed my car
If I broke my arm
Got bit by a shark
Would you care then?
Would you care then?
If my heart gave out
If my house burned down
Baby, do I have to fly halfway to Heaven?
Ooh

Why do I have to turn my crazy up to eleven
Just to get your attention?
