im that girl the he comes to in a moment of weakness
when you're at a stand still
when you won't give him what he wants
i slither betwixt the two of you and take care of what you wont
then once the water's calm and all is good
he's yours again, and i fade away
and as much as i'd like to think he once was...
he's never been
and never will be
mine.

the sting and tingle on my lips
oh, familiar friend
who has left you bloodied this time?
why did you let them in?

a heavy haze hangs over you
must you be so weak?
he's thick like syrup, black like coal
condemn any man but me

he burns, he soothes, he beckons, i know
hold tight to what is left
turn to him and away it shall go
but know he leaves a mess

she stings, she tingles on my lips
my familiar friend
she's left you so bloodied this time
why did you let her in?

your agony and pain alike
your thirst will cease to be
your problems will become a blur
if you run off and drink the sea
