SITTING IN YOUR CAR WAS THE ONLY THING I KNEW HOW
TO DO DRUNK AT 2AM
YOU KNEW SO MANY GIRLS FROM
CALIFORNIA FROM RUSSIA FROM BRAZIL BUT NONE OF THEM
WERE ME
YOU SAID THIS AS IF IT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FLATTERING
I WOULD FLAY THE SKIN FROM MY RIBS FOR ANOTHER DRINKI SMILE THROUGH GRITTING TEETH
THIS IS NOT WHERE I PICTURED MYSELF
AS A WIDE EYED FRESH DAISIED GIRL
WHO DRINKS FROM HER GRANDFATHERS FLASK
WHEN SHE THINKS NO ONE IS LOOKING
YOUR ONLY MISTAKE WAS DRIVING TOO FAR UNTIL
THE ONLY LIGHTS I COULD SEE WERE THE ONES BEHIND MY EYESWHEN YOU STRUCK ME SINGING
DARLING, LET'S GIVE LOVE A TRY
THIS WAS NEVER MEANT FOR YOUYOU THINK THAT LOVE LIES BETWEEN THE LEGS OF A GIRL
TOO DAMAGED TO KNOW NOT TO RIDE IN CARS
WITH BOYS WHO LOOK LIKE HER FATHER
I'D HAVE KISSED YOUR KNUCKLES WHEN YOU
MADE THAT FIST
IF I COULD FIND ANY COMPASSION LEFT IN ME
