lyrics

I was 19
In a red dress
I didn’t ask you to tear it all down
But you provided

You were angry
I kinda liked that
You said you led all my stories about
Powerful women

Paint me in yellow and grey, outline the shapes cuz you decided
That you liked it better when we only talked about movies
From the 90s
Tell me that’s it’s such a shame that I
Could not continue hide it
Cuz you never got to know anythnig more than the parts i
reviled

when the phone rings
ill pick up
and ill let you destroy me
all over x

cuz ive been broken
yeah ive been scarred
but im still hoping something better ~ pause~
comes along

Now I’m 20
In Joanne’s class
She said you wrote all about me and you
For your final

Well that don’t phase me
I’m not bothered. cuz id do the same but id pull off the colors and shapes
even better


lay them all out on the page, bare as the day that i confided
that i love you more than the world can contain inside
its weary eyelids

but what kind of life is a sailing ship fixed on the shoreline?
and what kind of love is mooring rope left there untied?
what kind of person writes mountains of prose for the woman that left her behind?
