Charlotte Martin - The Girl I Left Behind lyrics

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 wouldn't do

I know who I want to be-I want to be like you

So why do I change myself to be worthy of you

She's a needer

A bleeder

And likes to be on top

She's a girlfriend

A whirlwind

And not so logical

But she's an ocean in motion

And magical but 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 any time

She's a needer

A bleeder

I know that says a lot and

She's a girlfriend

A whirlwind

And not so logical

But she's an ocean in motion

And magical but you won't let her shine

You watch me as I fall apart for you

Watch me as I fall apart for you

Watch me as 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
