Not Your Girl

Fur Patrol


So you sail across the ocean 
Making plans to meet your family 
Clutching packages and photographs 
Of those you left behind you 
And of those you left behind you 
I'm the only one still waiting 
For the photographs to find me 
And the postcards to remind me

I'm not your girl 
I'm not your baby now 
This is your world 
I did not let you down

So you're locked inside the cardboard 
Waiting for the man to find you 
You can save me from the sideboard table 
Kill the lights to find you 
And you still can taste the boredom 
Of the days you left behind you 
You can hear the indecision 
That has followed you halfway across the world 

I'm not your baby now 
This is your world 
I did not let you down 
I'm not your girl

I'm not the girl you left behind you 
I'm not the flame you held inside you 
It's not the world you used to live in 
I'm not the one who needs forgiving 
I'm not your girl
