Hey, Girl
Where's the girl I fell asleep next to last night?
She tuned the radio to the same old songs again
She danced on the bed + told me we were right
I hope she never wakes up broken like I am again
Hey, girl, you're the one
Who set my heart to stun
My veins to lead + my lungs to stone
I know tonight, I'll be sleeping alone
I saw you with him, I saw it out my window
He doesn't love you, I loved enough to let go
All these snapshots of our memories
Five years just ripped away from me
I trace your face on this scrumpled photograph
Set it alight, watch it burn, turn my back on your ash
Hey, girl, you're the one
Who set my heart to stun
My veins to lead + my lungs to stone
I know tonight, I'll be sleeping alone
You held me as I cried, curled up on the bathroom floor
I know my secrets are with you, never leaving that door
I showed you scars no-one else will ever see
So why is it I see you running away from me?
I wish myself back to last year when we had the best of times
No more hugging my pillow to keep myself warm at night
