lyrics

I’ve never been the one who had
A perfect state of mind
They say I’m the kinda girl
Who’s best left behind
I’ve never been the one to stay
But one day I might
Tonight I saw the bar and
I turned left, cause you were right

You might say, I ran away
Chasing something better
Sure, I called the last shot
But we both pulled the trigger
They might say, I’ve gone insane
If that’s so, I don’t mind
Watch me howl at my new moon
As I leave you behind

Our lullaby is faded
So I’ll rock myself to sleep
Baby I don’t need you,
And I know you don’t need me
So I raise a glass of whiskey
To the things that keep me blind
Wisdom ain’t no friend of mine

The solitude, with every sip,
Bites into my tongue
Takes me to a place inside
I didn’t know was numb
As time goes by, I cannot lie
I wish I had someone
I’m alone yet so invaded, babe
I’m just a monologue

Our lullaby is faded
So I’ll rock myself to sleep
Baby I don’t need you,
And I know you don’t need me
So I raise a glass of whiskey
To the things that keep me blind
Wisdom ain’t no friend of mine

I’ve never been the one who had
A perfect state of mind
They say I’m the kinda girl
Who’s best left behind
