Girls

You have been my best friend
Since we were girls
Far removed from young men
In our own weird world

And yeah, we've had shit times
We've even come to fist fights
That's how I know you're lying
When you say it's alright

Don't tell me you are safe now
I know you too well not to work it out

I think of green lane smokes
Blue notes and our crazy families
And I'm back at school in your old room
Tracy Chapman on repeat

I know we've had shit times
Ooh, we've even come to fist fights
That's how I know you're lying
When you say it's alright

And don't tell me you are safe now
I know you too well not to work it out
I think you're faking out
Falling apart from breaking down

I wish you'd let the walls down
Darling, let yourself be found
Darling, let the walls down
(When all the lights run red)
Darling, let yourself be found
(Love you and the fight in me)
I wish you'd let yourself be found

Instead, you tell me you're safe now
I know you too well not to work it out
I think you're faking out
Falling apart from breaking down
Instead, you tell me you're safe now
I know you too well not to work it out
I think you're faking out
Falling apart from breaking down
