Be Your Own Girl

<br>I know youre tired of waking up on the floor<br><br>Pushed to the edge with nothing heavy to hold<br><br>Using your clothes as a blanket and a bed<br><br>Holding your hands just to lay your head<br><br><br><br>I know you dont remember ever falling down<br><br>Who picked you up, who gathered around<br><br>But you dont have to be his girl<br><br>And you dont have to be my girl<br><br>You can always be your own girl<br><br><br><br>With the sound of your feet you follow yourself to sleep<br><br>Restless and ageless and looking for somethin to keep<br><br>When you finally fall asleep youre awake in dreams<br><br>Hanging by the ankles in a skeleton ravine<br><br><br><br>I know youve kicked the lights, fell on your shoes<br><br>Punched out the colors, leaving you the blues<br><br>But you dont have to be his girl<br><br>And you dont have to be my girl<br><br>You can always be your own girl<br><br><br><br>Theres a soft melody thats ringing in my ears<br><br>Simple and slow and it always brings you here<br><br>With broken crayons youve scribbled on the wall<br><br>Shapes of nothing and shadow box them all<br><br><br><br>Your fingertips are broke and your knees dont bend<br><br>Your imagination took the worst hit and cut its skin<br><br>But you dont have to be his girl<br><br>You dont have to be my girl<br><br>You can always be your own girl<br><br><br><br>Theres a soft melody thats ringing in my ears<br><br>And its the same one you could never avoid in yours<br><br>And if you lay down you can hear from tongue to tails<br><br>About a tattooed rhythm and drumming by color wheel<br><br><br><br>Your rung is broken on the bottom of the rope<br><br>And you cant tie another, another knot of hope<br><br>And you dont have to be his girl<br><br>And you dont have to be my girl<br><br>You can always be your own girl
