Her Space Holiday - Japanese Gum lyrics

I used to know this girl

Who gave her love away

To every guy she met

And with all the games they played

She never seemed to cry

She never got upset

And one by one they came

And one by one they left

I thought that I could fix her

If she would let me in

But all of my advances

Were shut down in the end

When days turned into months

I begged her to explain

And this is what she sang

It's not like I'm a slut

Or that I really like to fuck

I just want every boy I see

To walk away with part of me

Until there's nothing left to hold

Until there's nothing left to hate

I appreciate your help

But even you can't save me from myself

I used to know this boy

Who took notes in a book

But he ripped out all the pages

Before I got a look

At all the words he scribbled

At all the lines he filled

But the ink stains on his fingers

Told me he was skilled

At capturing a feeling

That most of us just miss

The simple pain of living

With goodbyes on our lips

I found one of the pages

Crumpled by her bed

And this is how it read

It's not like I am weak

Or that I don't know how to leave

It's just that every time you cheat

You bring me closer to defeat

Until there's nothing left to love

Until there's nothing left to say

I know that you need help

But even I can't save you from yourself
