Verse 1
Black ink on your wrist, cheap cologne in the line
Looking like you still think I might change my mind
You used to walk in anywhere I was
Like the whole room moved when you showed up
But tonight the flash hits different
Tonight I know exactly who I am
And the girl at the door with the silver clipboard
Doesn’t even have to ask
Pre-Chorus
You’re doing that thing where you smile like history
Baby, that’s cute, but it doesn’t work on me
Chorus
You’re not on the guest list
Don’t try to finesse it
You had your moment
You already spent it
Now I’m walking in
And you’re stuck outside
You’re not on the guest list
And I like it like that
Verse 2
The bass comes through the wall like a second heartbeat
Your friends are acting bored, but they keep looking at me
I’ve got my lipstick on and my shoulders back
And no intention of unpacking the past
You can name-drop, lean in, laugh loud
Act like the old you still gets around
But the velvet line is a beautiful thing
When the right girl’s on the other side of it
Pre-Chorus
You’re doing that thing where you talk like we’re timeless
But I look better now that I’m out of your crisis
Chorus
You’re not on the guest list
Don’t try to finesse it
You had your moment
You already spent it
Now I’m walking in
And you’re stuck outside
You’re not on the guest list
And I like it like that
Bridge
Red light, flash on
Name gone, game gone
Step back, move on
This is my song
Wristband, high heel
Cold look, no deal
You had backstage once
Now you don’t get in
Final Chorus
You’re not on the guest list
Don’t try to finesse it
You had your moment
You already spent it
Now I’m walking in
And you’re stuck outside
You’re not on the guest list
And I like it like that
You’re not on the guest list
No, not tonight
I’m inside the picture
You’re outside the light
