Emily Haines - Detective Daughter lyrics

She was callin' around to find half an hour

She walked right into my mirror

Says she's here to waste time, I said "That's fine”

“Listen, to thyself be true"

To thyself be true

Every thread, every hair rearranged to

Resemble

You could help her, detective daughter copy

Please don't be me

There are so many skirts under the table

None of these long legs are mine

She calls around, finds me cryin'

Wish I were capable of lyin' sometimes

Hide out

Love is hell, hell is love

Hell is asking to be loved

Hide out, and then run when no-one's looking

She's still callin' around to find half an hour

She'll always have a place in my mirror

But she's got no more time, now she wants mine

But I'm all out too, to thyself be true

To thyself be true

To thyself be true

To thyself be true
