Be Your Own Girl lyrics

I know you`re tired of wakin` up on the floor
Pushed to the edge with nothin` heavy to hold
Usin` your clothes as a blanket and a bed
Holdin` your hands just to lay your head.
I know you don`t remember ever fallin` down
Who picked you up, who gathered around

But you don`t have to be his girl,
and you don`t have to be my girl,
you can always be your own girl.

With the sound of your feet you follow yourself to sleep
Restless and ageless and lookin` for something to keep
When you finally fall asleep you`re awake in dreams
Hangin` by the ankles in the skeleton ravine.

I know you can`t relax / your candle wax / you kicked the lights
fell on your shoes
Punched out the colors, leaving you the blues

But you don`t have to be his girl,
you don`t have to be my girl,
you can always be your own girl.

There`s a soft melody that`s ringin` in your ears
Simple and slow and always brings you here.
With broken crayons you`ve scribbled on the wall
Shapes of nothing and shadow boxed them all.

Your fingertips are broke, and your knees don`t bend
Your imagination took the worst hit and cut its skin

But you don`t have to be his girl,
and you don`t have to be my girl,
you can always be your own girl.

There`s a soft melody that`s ringin` in my ears
It`s the same one you could never avoid in yours
And if you lay down you can hear from tongue to tails
About a tattooed rhythm and drummin` by color wheel.

Your rung is broken on the bottom of the rope
And you can`t tie another, another knot of hope

And you don`t have to be his girl,
And you don`t have to be my girl,
You can always be your own girl
