He mistakes my name, and then, "Well, you'll come around..." Strange as it seems, I'm bursting at the seams With a suitcase full of nothing to be seen Airports, shutters and a shoulder to no longer lean And he says, "Oh, I've got a woman now..." My wallet photos no longer sum me up And I've already come around And tiny star-studded jeans hold every broken dream And through the failed wishes in between, a sung "Oh, I've got a woman now..." For I'm no longer little Eileen, and I've grown a lonely need For I'm no longer anything to see; All but worthy to be deemed, yet a cry resounds; "Oh, I've got a woman now..." And it's all tasted the same, And I never expected it to change "Girl, out there when they're selling dreams... **** this is harder than it seems. Oh, where did my girl go now? Oh, I've got a woman now..."

He mistakes my name, and then, "Well, you'll come around..." Strange as it seems, I'm bursting at the seams With a suitcase full of nothing to be seen Airports, shutters and a shoulder to no longer lean And he says, "Oh, I've got a woman now..." My wallet photos no longer sum me up And I've already come around And tiny star-studded jeans hold every broken dream And through the failed wishes in between, a sung "Oh, I've got a woman now..." For I'm no longer little Eileen, and I've grown a lonely need For I'm no longer anything to see; All but worthy to be deemed, yet a cry resounds; "Oh, I've got a woman now..." And it's all tasted the same, And I never expected it to change "Girl, out there when they're selling dreams... **** this is harder than it seems. Oh, where did my girl go now? Oh, I've got a woman now..."
This is based off the song "Woman" by The 1975. Kind of like a prologue-kinda-thing from before everything turned sour for Eileen. It's kind of odd, but nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed.
