Your name makes a lot of sense
You saw me there in the woods
You thought I looked innocent
And full of life, well, I was
I came to you with open arms
And too trusting of a heart
And you put the barrel to my head
And in one shot, blew my skull apart
And I cried on your bathroom floor after you left for work
I knew you'd never want me as much as I hoped you would
It was foolish of me to believe you could be better than you were
You got my hopes up too high; thought you were different
Silly girl
The stars were curiously aligned
As those deer stood in the road
And a thought crossed my drunken mind
As your car came to a halt
I saw my stiffened head and neck on a board
And underneath written in black ink, it says
"A girl with no heart"
And you'll show me off to all your
New, young and pretty ones
And through blood-stained teeth, you'll say
"I'm not sure how she got that way, but it wasn't my fault."
And I cried on your bathroom floor after you left for work
I knew you'd never want me as much as I hoped you would
It was foolish of me to believe you could be better than you were
You got my hopes up too high; thought it was different this time
Silly girl

Why don't you fuck me one more time?
Isn't that what you wanted?
Just say you love something
My lips, my legs
Maybe if I put out enough
I'll hear my own name
Muttered out of your mouth after those words 'I love -'
Oh god, one day
I'll keep coming back, baby
(oh baby, I'll keep coming back)
I'll pretend like I don't know any better
I heard you like them dumb
Well, tonight I am the dumbest bitch of all
So, no wonder, you liked me
Just tell me you care
And I'll bleed on your bedsheets
You kill me, can't you see?

Virginia's for Lovers
03:00

You let your hair grow too long and so did I
The inches past your ear, my only measure of time
Kiss me as we sit in the wreck we've made
Neither of us have eaten today
Virginia's for lovers or whatever you wanna call us
Drive me through Tennessee
I'm convincingly happy
Load me into the back of your hot-wired car
Watch my dark curls float in the wind
Maybe once we cross state lines
You'll wanna hold my hand
Virginia's for lovers or whatever you wanna call us
Drive me through Tennessee
I'm convincingly happy
I can take the pain of your nails in my skin
Just make the heartbreak quick
and in those moments when your phone disconnects
and all I'm left with is the sound of your beaten breath
I'll search for the words to say
Virginia's for lovers so, I'll let you know now I loved you
Can't you just lie and say it back
Don't worry baby, I know the truth

I look nothing like I did when we first met
You look exactly the same
Ignore all the warning signs
That you were three degrees too different
And I never listen
I've got a red woven string
Tied around my fingers too
They're connected to a liar
One just like you
I'm sorry I didn't tell the truth
I let you use me over and over again
I should have always left
I'll try to forgive you, no promises
Still wish we never met

Calloused Hands

I'm running down the street
From these ghosts that still haunt me
I wish I could erase all memory of you
So I'll hit my head
Against every wall in my room
Until I forget
What must it feel like to be wanted for more than
What I'm shown is all that I'm good for and
What must it feel like to be touched by hands that
Aren't calloused with selfishness
When will this feeling of worthlessness end?
My body aches and I can't cry again
I'm exhausted by all these late nights when
I can't get you off my mind
If love is so patient, if love is so kind then
In these men love is never what I find
What must it feel like to be wanted for more than
What I'm shown is all that I'm good for and
What must it feel like to be touched by hands that
Aren't calloused with selfishness
One day I'll find my love within myself
And when that day comes, I won't be the girl I am now
And you won't recognize me for who I am
And I can't wait to feel worth it again, but
What must it feel like to be wanted for more than
What I'm shown is all that I'm good for and
What must it feel like to be touched by hands that
Aren't calloused with selfishness

I lay on my back
And hold my breath
I let the sea roll me
And I feel loved again
The wind's lullaby pulls me in
The world is much bigger than my sadness
And love reaches farther than your hands
The snow falls lightly
On my wine-stained cheeks
And kisses my eyelashes
And I feel loved again
That familiar feeling of hope on my skin
The world is much bigger than my sadness
And love reaches farther than your hands
