Wallflowers - Be Your Own Girl Lyrics
I know youre tired of waking up on the floorPushed to the edge with nothing heavy to holdUsing your clothes as a blanket and a bedHolding your hands just to lay your headI know you dont remember ever falling downWho picked you up, who gathered aroundBut you dont have to be his girlAnd you dont have to be my girlYou can always be your own girlWith the sound of your feet you follow yourself to sleepRestless and ageless and looking for somethin to keepWhen you finally fall asleep youre awake in dreamsHanging by the ankles in a skeleton ravineI know youve kicked the lights, fell on your shoesPunched out the colors, leaving you the bluesBut you dont have to be his girlAnd you dont have to be my girlYou can always be your own girlTheres a soft melody thats ringing in my earsSimple and slow and it always brings you hereWith broken crayons youve scribbled on the wallShapes of nothing and shadow box them allYour fingertips are broke and your knees dont bendYour imagination took the worst hit and cut its skinBut you dont have to be his girlYou dont have to be my girlYou can always be your own girlTheres a soft melody thats ringing in my earsAnd its the same one you could never avoid in yoursAnd if you lay down you can hear from tongue to tailsAbout a tattooed rhythm and drumming by color wheelYour rung is broken on the bottom of the ropeAnd you cant tie another, another knot of hopeAnd you dont have to be his girlAnd you dont have to be my girlYou can always be your own girl
