Japanese Gum Lyrics - Singles - Her Space Holiday

I used to know this girl 

Who gave her love away 

To every guy she met 

And with all the games they played 

She never seemed to cry 

She never got upset 

And one by one they came 

And one by one they left 

I thought that I could fix her 

If she would let me in 

But all of my advances 

Were shut down in the end 

When days turned into months 

I begged her to explain 

And this is what she sang 

It's not like I'm a slut 

Or that I really like to fuck 

I just want every boy I see 

To walk away with part of me 

Until there's nothing left to hold 

Until there's nothing left to hate 

I appreciate your help 

But even you can't save me from myself 

I used to know this boy 

Who took notes in a book 

But he ripped out all the pages 

Before I got a look 

At all the words he scribbled 

At all the lines he filled 

But the ink stains on his fingers 

Told me he was skilled 

At capturing a feeling 

That most of us just miss 

The simple pain of living 

With goodbyes on our lips 

I found one of the pages 

Crumpled by her bed 

And this is how it read 

It's not like I am weak 

Or that I don't know how to leave 

It's just that every time you cheat 

You bring me closer to defeat 

Until there's nothing left to love 

Until there's nothing left to say 

I know that you need help 

But even I can't save you from yourself
