I met a new one and she looks just like you
/                                   
She gives me everything that you didn't want to
                                     
And maybe, maybe I don't need saving after all
		            /        
She sticks in my ribs almost better than you did
                          
And maybe I'm tired or maybe she glows

                                     	   
I wonder if you're still defending
I wonder if you're still defending
                    
Cause you've been so wrong
       
So long now
You've been so wrong
For so long now


Met someone with your eyes and skin
I can convince her of everything
And baby, it's so delicious you should
Come here and see for yourself
"I'm gone," you said, "if this is all there is...
You'll never shine alone"

And I wonder if you're still defending
I wonder if you're still defending

You've been so wrong (I could fall alone if all)
So long now (if I could fall away)
You've been so wrong (I could fall alone if all)
so long now(If I could fall away)

                        
And you knew anthems to breathe
	      		  
And I've got you on my answering machine.

                          
I've kissed others lips
 	                   
And they promised me healing
                
It's easy if you try
