The Woman You Want - Eliza Shaddad, Ben Jackson

8 a.m. and I hear the birds go

The mattress moves as he exits, by the window

And I wonder oh when will I wake up ok

And I wish that he could see inside my head

And quiet my head

Quiet my head

I can’t be the woman you want right now

Yeah it takes all I have just to be a little kind

And I don’t think I will be like this for long, but I just need a while

To allow my heaving mind to riot and my limbs to paralyse

And quiet my head

Oh quiet my head

And the neighbours out the front again

Making jokes about Armageddon in the rain

I’ll be honest I’m barly holding it down

And I hate it but I have to shut you out

To quiet my had

(8 a.m. again)
