I met a new one and she looks just like you

She gives me everything that you didn't want to

And maybe I don't need saving after all

She sticks in my ribs almost better than you did

And maybe I'm tired or maybe she glows



I wonder if you're still defending

I wonder if you're still defending



Met someone with your eyes and skin

I can convince her of everything

And baby, it's so delicious you should



Come here and see for yourself

"I'm gone", you said, "if this is all there is…

You'll never shine alone



And I wonder if you're still defending

I wonder if you're still defending



You've been so wrong

For so long now



(I can fall alone if all

if I can fall away)



I've kissed others lips

And they promised me healing

It's easy if you try
