Girls

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
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
Even come to fist fights
But 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
When all the lights are red
Love you can confide in me
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.
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"""
