lyrics

Take my hand, it's just for show
Tell me when we can go home
When did you become everything I loathe
When did you become cynical
Make me out to be sweet
Make me out to glow
Making out is easy
Makes us less alone

Cruel is the love who never says sorry
Cruel is the love who never says sorry
Cruel is the love who never says sorry
Cruel is the love who never says sorry
I am just a girl and you are a living dream
I am just a girl and you're all that I'll ever need
I am just girl and you are a living dream
I am just a girl and the rest just comes naturally

Take my hand, I'm full of hate
I dig my nails in and put on a good face
When did you decide you'd rather be alone
You used to beg me before taking me home
Prechorus x1
Chorus x1

I am not a good girl baby
I am not a good girl babe
I could never say I'm sorry
Things would never be the same

Chorus x1

I could die of loneliness one breath at a time
Cause I would never be the one to apologize
I could die of loneliness one breath at a time
But there you are in front of me with hearts in your eye
