about
“I Was Your Girl” is a song about going through the motions of trying to love someone before you are ready to. The past scars haven’t healed and you aren’t ready to open up but there’s a perfect person standing in front of you asking for you to fall.
lyrics
I’m keeping hold of the scars that formed
My father gave me two
I’m lost inside this beating heart
In a maze of solitude
And I hardly gave it a second glance
When I walked all over you
Got holes in all my pockets still
I caught the love you threw
(Chorus)
Hallelujah
It’s my birthday
I want home
What a strange place
Call it memory
What is gone
I was your girl
I rolled it tough and I lit it up
Just to taste the bitter fumes
I know my demons all by name
One sounds a lot like you
The fever starts when the sun comes up
I can touch the morning dew
I’ve polished every surface twice
But the cracks they shine on through
(Chorus)
Hallelujah
It’s my birthday
I want home
What a strange place
Call it memory
What is gone
I was your girl
