Her Space Holiday - Japanese Gum

I used to know this girl Who gave her love away To every guy she met And with all the games they played She never seemed to cry She never got upset And one by one they came And one by one they left I thought that I could fix her If she would let me in But all of my advances Were shut down in the end When days turned into months I begged her to explain And this is what she sang It’s not like I’m a slut Or that I really like to fuck I just want every boy I see To walk away with part of me Until there’s nothing left to hold Until there’s nothing left to hate I appreciate your help But even you can’t save me from myself I used to know this boy Who took notes in a book But he ripped out all the pages Before I got a look At all the words he scribbled At all the lines he filled But the ink stains on his fingers Told me he was skilled At capturing a feeling That most of us just miss The simple pain of living With goodbyes on our lips I found one of the pages Crumpled by her bed And this is how it read It’s not like I am weak Or that I don’t know how to leave It’s just that every time you cheat You bring me closer to defeat Until there’s nothing left to love Until there’s nothing left to say I know that you need help But even I can’t save you from yourself
