Be Your Own Girl Lyrics - The Wallflowers - The Wallflowers

I know you're tired of wakin' up on the floor 

Pushed to the edge with nothin' heavy to hold 

Usin' your clothes as a blanket and a bed 

Holdin' your hands just to lay your head. 

I know you don't remember ever fallin' down 

Who picked you up, who gathered around 

But you don't have to be his girl, 

and you don't have to be my girl, 

you can always be your own girl. 

With the sound of your feet you follow yourself to sleep 

Restless and ageless and lookin' for something to keep 

When you finally fall asleep you're awake in dreams 

Hangin' by the ankles in the skeleton ravine. 

I know you can't relax / your candle wax / you kicked the lights 

fell on your shoes 

Punched out the colors, leaving you the blues

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

But you don't have to be his girl, 

you don't have to be my girl, 

you can always be your own girl. 

There's a soft melody that's ringin' in your ears 

Simple and slow and always brings you here. 

With broken crayons you've scribbled on the wall 

Shapes of nothing and shadow boxed them all. 

Your fingertips are broke, and your knees don't bend 

Your imagination took the worst hit and cut its skin 

But you don't have to be his girl, 

and you don't have to be my girl, 

you can always be your own girl. 

There's a soft melody that's ringin' in my ears 

It's the same one you could never avoid in yours 

And if you lay down you can hear from tongue to tails 

About a tattooed rhythm and drummin' by color wheel.

Your rung is broken on the bottom of the rope 

And you can't tie another, another knot of hope 

And you don't have to be his girl, 

And you don't have to be my girl, 

You can always be your own girl.
