Rachael Yamagata EP

I am tired
of crying in bathrooms
and lighting drags
when I don't even smoke


Writing to no one
Sleeping with the hours
And sighing
for a thousand things


So tired, ignoring your words
About a new girl


Watching flirtations
Whispered conversations


These Girls, they don't know
How they kill me down
Whenever they hold his hand
And these girls
I'm getting old, just by
Being 'round them
They're breaking the future
I'll never hold again


So blue, I'm scratching at nothing
The tighter you hold him, the stronger he gets
Inside I'm spinning, my lesson
Lipstick & perfume, and fanciful speech
My suitcase is packed by the door
In case he comes crawling, like he did before


Baby come get me, don't you look over there


And these girls, they don't know
How they kill me down
Whenever they hold his hand
And these girls
I'm getting old, just by
Being 'round them
They're breaking the future
I'll never hold again


And these girls, if I had my chance
Oh, I'll find a way to spell it out in the night
And these girls, it's dangerous
It's not their fault
But I'm so tired of being nice


Anywhere that I go, they appear before me
And everybody knows I'm addicted
to the object of their eyes


And these girls, they don't know
How they kill me down
Whenever they hold his hand
And these girls
I'm getting old, just by
Being 'round them
They're breaking the future
I'll never hold again


And these girls, if I had my chance
oh, I'll find a way to spell it out in the night
And these girls, it's dangerous
It's not their fault
But I'm so tired of being nice


So tired of being nice
So tired, so tired of being alone...
