Just Another Girl
()
Soon I will be
just another girl
Soon it won't have mattered that we loved
Soon I'll hear your name
and hers in the same phrase
The universe will change
and I'll run
But tonight if you hear me
come on and get me
I'll be waiting by the window
with hope in my eyes
You can run in and daze me
Call me your baby
and speak softly to me
'til I come back to life
I waited until I fell asleep
For you to be the man that you could be
Panicked when I felt my eyes growing heavy
and rushed to your touch to stay awake
But now that you're not near me
I'm seeing clearly
how I subtly slipped into a docile disguise
Now I'm breathing and blinking-
feverishly thinking
of a way that you could someday still be mine.
Soon I will be just another girl.
Soon it won't have mattered that we loved
Soon I'll hear your name and hers in the same phrase
The universe will change and I'll run.
