Girl Named World
I once fell in love / just to get more lost
And followed a darker path / full of thorns and unwanted thoughts
She's the static in my cellphone world
I stop to think about her // this girl named world...
She came into my life / just to turn me around
And had me strung from the echo of her heartbeat sound
Syncopated / down / to the rhythm of my bed
When she turned the thing around / and stopped to give me head
I was fine / with her plots and schemes
I even liked the way she told me / that she never had dreams
But behind the scenes / I hear demons in her voice
I hear her crying in her sleep / talking about a bad choice
From the meth to the pills / to the radio play
I hear static in her voice / when she says "baby"
And I know...
Far too much / about a heart getting crushed / until it feels like dust
I try and tell myself to hush / but it's never that easy
So until you feel that touch / just believe me...
I once fell in love / just to get my head right
And leave the place I've been / to get me through another night
She's the thing that I hate to love in this world
I stop to think about her // this girl named world
Three months later / my life was a like a blur
Everything that I owned / now belonged to her
She was this / she was that
She was myth / she was fact
She had strung me so far / I couldn't think to look back
Because I never got deep in the world until she came
But a smile on her face / became much the same thing
And her stomach started bulging / said it's about that time
That I stop being bogus / started taking care of mine
And we were finally there
This new life ahead of us / was like a breath of fresh air
We thought it would change everything that made us cry
We could kick bad habits / and try to stay in line / we could pay our dues
But it's never that easy
Until you walk in my shoes / try and believe me
I fell in love / before I really started falling
Before I realized I hated you / and got sick of you calling
She's the reason that I left that world
I don't think about her / that girl named world
We had it all wrong / from the places to the names
Where we laid our heads / and thought that we were safe
Deep in the end / we gave up so much
We took a happy family / and traded it for dust
Ruins / ashes / happiness and sadness / and some insane laughter
So she left from her hiding place and turned another chapter
Added to her diary / a page about a hereafter
And she tried her best to force everything down
Before waking up alone / and thinking about now
How it hurts when you lose everything that you love
It ain't easy
Until you walk in her shoes / just believe me
I fell in love / and I gave it all up
This is dedicated to a girl named drugs
