lyrics

I know you're just a girl who wants to be with girls,
But I could be your boyfriend, let me be your boyfriend.
Oh she's just so pure, I do not fuck like her,
But I could be your boyfriend, let me be your boyfriend.
Goddess, there's no cure. I long to hear the words,
that I could be your boyfriend, let me be your boyfriend.
Stand beside me girl, stare darkly at the world,
And I will be your boyfriend, let me be your boyfriend.

You're so fey, turn away, let's get out of it.
Lose your mind, curse our time, bring me to the ground.
In the car, in the dark, she's still on your lips.
My heart is in exile, I curse the life I found.
Voices fade, let's not wait, just get on with it.
Check the mirror, dry your tears, and bring me to the ground.
In the car, in the dark, thought I caught a glimpse
Of possible embers.

Oh fuck she's just some girl, what do you see in her?
When I could be your boyfriend, let me be your boyfriend.
I thought we were for sure, I guess we never were.
Still I could be your boyfriend, let me be your boyfriend.
I swear I will endure, I feel so immature,
But I could be your boyfriend, let me be your boyfriend.
Your hand locked into hers, you both look so demure,
But I could be your boyfriend, let me be your boyfriend.

There’s a pain in my heart, and it runs through my veins,
And it pounds in my chest, and it screams out your name.
Will I ever be yours? Tell me over again,
If our essence is abstract are we getting out of phase?

If only I was born a girl, You’d be with me for sure,
And I would be your girlfriend, we could just be girlfriends.
Oh and rest assured, I would not fuck like her,
And I would be your girlfriend, we could just be girlfriends.
We’d stare out at the world, by hand locked into yours,
And I would be your girlfriend, we could just be girlfriends.
But deep inside it hurts, for I cannot be a girl,
But I want to be your girlfriend, if only we were girlfriends.

There’s a pain in my heart, and it runs through my veins,
And it pounds in my chest, and it screams out your name.
Will I ever be yours? Tell me over again,
If our essence is flawed, I can only look away.
