The girl I left behind me
Was bad at being good
The happiest arsonist that ever was
The happiest communist that ever was

The girl I left behind me
Oh you said she wouldn't do
I know who I want to be, be worthy of you
So why do I change myself to be worthy of you

She's a needer
A bleeder
Likes to be on top
And she's a girlfriend
A whirlwind
And not so logical
But she's an ocean in motion
And magical but you won't let her shine

The girl I left behind me
We've spoken once or twice
She says I have twice the strength
Now isn't that nice
She says I can call her anywhere or anytime

She's a needer
A bleeder
I know that says a lot
And he's a girlfriend
A whirlwind
And not so logical
But she's an ocean in motion
And magical but you won't let her shine
She's an ocean in motion
And magical but you won't let her shine

You watch me as I fall apart for you
And you watch me as I fall apart for you
And I waste myself
I waste myself
And I waste myself

The girl I left behind me
Was bad at being good
The happiest arsonist that ever was
The happiest communist that ever was
