WALLFLOWERS - BE YOUR OWN GIRL Lyrics

I know you're tired of wakin' up on the floorPushed to the edge with nothin' heavy to holdUsin' your clothes as a blanket and a bedHoldin' your hands just to lay your head.I know you don't remember ever fallin' downWho picked you up, who gathered aroundBut 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 sleepRestless and ageless and lookin' for something to keepWhen you finally fall asleep you're awake in dreamsHangin' by the ankles in the skeleton ravine.I know you can't relax / your candle wax / you kicked thelightsfell on your shoesPunched out the colors, leaving you the bluesBut 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 earsSimple and slow and always brings you here.With broken crayons you've scribbled on the wallShapes of nothing and shadow boxed them all.Your fingertips are broke, and your knees don't bendYour imagination took the worst hit and cut its skinBut 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 earsIt's the same one you could never avoid in yoursAnd if you lay down you can hear from tongue to tailsAbout a tattooed rhythm and drummin' by color wheel.Your rung is broken on the bottom of the ropeAnd you can't tie another, another knot of hopeAnd you don't have to be his girl,And you don't have to be my girl,You can always be your own girl.
