The Girl I Left Behind
The girl I left behind me
Was bad at being good
The happiest arsonist that ever was
The happiest communist that ever was
The girl I left behind me
You said she would do
I know who I want to be, be worthy of you
So why do I change myself to be worthy of you?
She's a needer, a bleeder
And she likes to be on top
She's a girlfriend, a whirlwind
And not so logical
But she's an ocean in motion
And you won't let her shine
The girl I left behind me
We've spoken once or twice
She says I have twice her strength
Well isn't that nice?
She says I can call her anywhere or anytime
She's a needer, a bleeder
And I know that says a lot
She's a girlfriend, a whirlwind
And not so logical
But she's an ocean in motion
And magical
You won't let her shine
She's an ocean in motion
And magical
You won't let her shine
You watch me as I fall apart for you
You watch me as I fall apart for you
And I waste myself, and I waste myself
And I waste myself
The girl I left behind me
Was bad at being good
The happiest arsonist that ever was
The happiest communist that ever was
