Cycle of Girls

Lost danger, old souls
I never let go
And I could never be cold
Until I met you, I'd sworn
That I'd try to be nice
But then I learned how to lie
And then I learned that if I died, that I would be on the line with you
And that was worth the blues
And that was worth the ruse
And that was worth the foolness, such a shame, I was all you
And then I lost my cool
And that was overdue
Yeah, that was overdue

You damaged my heart, and I damaged the world
That's called the cycle of girls
And if I hand you my pearls
Would you break 'em, would you sell 'em
And if you take 'em, that's a sell in
And if you call me, will I answer
Yes, I answer, that's the answer
I, I, I, I, I never let you leave me
I never thought you'd lead me to something that I couldn't see in
But I thought that danger was a good thing with strangers til I met you and I was wrong

I think I didn't see it
My heart closed
And then you creeped in and poked holes
And that's egregious, this heart's sewn
I couldn't leave you on those terms
So I tried to learn to hide
But I loved how you tried
And if I gave all my life, I would soon owe it all to you
And that's what made me blue
And started all the ruse
And that was worth the foolness, such a shame, I was all you
And then I lost my cool
And that was overdue
Yes, that was overdue

You damaged my heart, and I damaged the world
That's called the cycle of girls
And if I hand you my pearls
Would you break 'em, would you sell 'em
And if you take 'em, that's a sell in
And if you call me, will I answer
Yes, I answer, that's the answer
I, I, I, I, I never thought you'd leave me
I never thought you'd lead me to something that I couldn't see in,
But I thought that danger was a good thing with strangers til I met you and I was wrong

I thought this was something real, but so easily the truth came to light
And I gave my life, to lay down and die
For the sake of your life, but what about mine
I thought this was something real, but so easily the truth came to light
And I gave my life, to lay down and die
For the sake of your life, but what about mine

You damaged my heart, so I damaged the world
That's called the cycle of girls
And if I hand you my pearls
Would you break 'em, would you sell 'em
And if you take 'em, that's a sell in
And if you call me, will I answer
Yes, I answer, that's the answer
I, I, I, I, I never thought you'd leave me
I never thought you'd lead me to something that I couldn't see in,
But I thought that danger was a good thing with strangers til I met you and I was wrong
