LYRICS

Verse 1:
Get out of my collarbone,
It's not safe for you there.
I spent too much time tracing your upper lip,
And biting your shoulder.
I hate the taste of your tongue,
After you've downed your favourite beer,
All I wanted was for you to not be broken dear.

Chorus:
You are not my elevator,
Stop bringing me up and down.
And I'm not a toy you can throw around,
Whenever loneliness makes her sounds.
And you are not my elevator,
Stop bringing me up and down.
And I'm not a toy you can throw around,
Every time she finds someone else.
No-oh-oh.

Verse 2:
You say you value our time,
But I'm still option number 2, number 3, number 4, number 5.
You call yourself a feminist,
But you still treat me like,
Treat me like, treat me like,
An object.

Chorus:
You are not my elevator,
Stop bringing me up and down.
And I'm not a toy you can throw around,
Whenever loneliness makes her sounds.
And you are not my elevator,
Stop bringing me up and down.
And I'm not a toy you can throw around,
Every time she finds someone else.

Chorus 2:
You are not my elevator,
Stop bringing me up and down.
And I wasted too much time on you.
