old habits die hard
isn’t this where she always runs
straight into the arms of a man

“little miss independent” she acts
in a way maybe she is...
&& they all think they’re using her

each one serves a purpose
a place for her to hide
somewhere to weather the storm

they’re just a quick escape
shelter from the empty
a way to get away from the shambles

each one ends a bit differently
takes a little more out of her
**each shambles paves the way for the next
