Not Your Girl

about

The one came together like waves breathing in and out against the rocks.

lyrics

i woke up this morning not as your girl
stripped the bed with your warmth in tact
my clothes don’t feel like my own
was it my hand that made the final blow

some mornings, it stops feeling so strange
empty space i can’t remember how to take
these bruises don’t feel like my own
yes, this is where my body made you a home

i’ve lived my whole life without you
so why is this tearing me up
i’m not gonna love for crumbles
you came through the door with your hand on the handle

i’ve lived my whole life without you
so why is this tearing me up
i’m not gonna love for crumbles
you came through the door with your hand on the handle

Don’t turn me into a loss
I’ll pack up the dream of what I deemed worthy of my love
it might take a while
don’t just change your mind

what it’s like today won’t be tomorrow
can’t unsee the pain of what i’ve endured
are you just a small part in a larger story
or will you show up later
i don’t want to count the days

still haven’t heard a word in your silent retreat
and I am seeing new colors
as the sun beats my cheeks
maybe you were right to leave me in a blurry haze
in the dead of summer

Don’t turn me into a loss
I’ll pack up the dream of what I deemed worthy of my love
it might take a while
don’t just change your mind
