I was the belle of
the Governor's Ball
Hiding in the bathroom
like Shelley Duvall
You had a nosebleed
you were in my way
And you didn't remind me
of anything
So let's see how long
we can go
without touching
Why don't you sing me
to sleep
I know
you'd never actually
think about jumping
But do it for me
Two kids
in a trench coat
living alone
I was too happy
to feel at home
Dancing ourselves clean
late New Year's Eve
You deserved better
you wanted me
So let's see how long
we can go
without talking
Watch me pretending
to sleep
I'm next to you
you're next to nothing
You promised
that you'd never leave
But maybe you'll do it
for me
Now let's see how far
I can run
without stopping
And she can pretend
to be me
Since she took my place
in my bed
on that stage
I have not lost any sleep
Being myself wasn't easy
Do it for me
