This is the only known version. The track intentionally has a feel that is reminiscent of "When You Sleep" by My Bloody Valentine.[http://songexploder.net/transcripts/halsey-transcript.pdf]

==Lyrics==
     I don’t know what you want from me
     When I’m Sunburnt lips and summer feet
     Im tattered like these Levi jeans
     Punch-wasted on redundancy
     
     and now what the fuck does all this mean
     you know I’m still somebody’s daughter, see
     I spilled the milk you left for me
     My tears are falling flawlessly now
     
     go on and be a big girl
     You asked for this now
     go on and be a big girl
     everybody’s gonna drown you out
     go on and be a big girl
     You asked for this now
     You better show them why you talk so loud
     
     you wished upon a falling star
     And then left behind the avant garde
     For lemonade in crystal glasses
     Picket fences, file taxes
     Who the hell is in your bed
     You better kiss goodnight and give some head
     And then next then morning comes instead
     Well is this the life that lies ahead
     
     go on and be a big girl
     You asked for this now
     go on and be a big girl
     everybody’s gonna drown you out
     go on and be a big girl
     You asked for this now
     You better show them why you talk so loud
    
     go on and be a big girl
     You asked for this now
     go on and be a big girl
     everybody’s gonna drown you out
     go on and be a big girl
     You asked for this now
     You better show them why you talk so loud
     
     I want my cake on a silver platter
     I want a fistful in my hands
     I want a beautiful boy’s despondent laughter
     I want to ruin all my plans
     I want a fist around my throat
     I want to cry so hard I choke
     I want everything I asked for
