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 would do I know who I want to be, be worthy of you So why do I change myself to be worthy of you? She's a needer, a bleeder And she likes to be on top She's a girlfriend, a whirlwind And not so logical But she's an ocean in motion And 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 anytime She's a needer, a bleeder And I know that says a lot She's a girlfriend, a whirlwind And not so logical But she's an ocean in motion And magical You won't let her shine She's an ocean in motion And magical You won't let her shine You watch me as I fall apart for you You watch me as I fall apart for you And 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 The happiest communist that ever was
