Girls - Eliza Shaddad

You have been my best friend

Since we were girls

Far removed from young men in

Our weird own world

And we’ve had shit times

We even come to fist fights

That’s how I know you’re lying

When you say it’s alright

Don’t tell me you are safe now

I know you too well not to work it out

I think of green lane smokes

And Bluenotes

And our crazy families

And I’m back at school

In your old room

Tracy Chapman on repeat

I know we’ve had shit times

I know we even come to fist fights

That’s how I know you’re lying

When you say it’s alright

Don’t tell me you are safe now

I know you too well not to work it out

I think you are faking how

Far you are from breaking down

I wish you’d let the walls down

Darling let yourself be found

Darling let the walls down

(When all the lights are red)

Darling let yourself be found

(Love you can confide in me)

I wish you’d let yourself be found

But instead you tell me you are safe now

I know you too well not to work it out

I think you are faking how

Far you are from breaking down

Instead you tell me you are safe now

I know you too well not to work it out

I think you are faking how

Far you are from breaking down
