How Fast You Got There (EP) (2012)
She Isn’t Me
She’s got that long dark hair that you like
and those bright and beautiful eyes.
You could love her in a matter of time.
I suppose you’ll love her for quite a while.
She’s got a reputation in this town.
Don’t be surprised by the people staring you down.
Well, everyone around is warning everything she is.
The records of her past say “stay away from this”.
Some may call her names,
things I cannot claim her to be.
I may not know who she is, but she isn’t me.
Is it my eyes playing tricks on me?
No, you’ve had long enough to go find
someone else to walk against your skin.
I just hope you both make it out alive.
She’s got a reputation in this town.
My god only knows how much that girl gets around.
Well, everyone around is warning everything she is.
The records of her past say “stay away from this”.
Some may call her names,
things I cannot claim her to be.
I may not know who she is, but she isn’t me.
So how’s she gonna love the man that you are,
cause I know it got hard for me?
Last time I checked in she had a longer list of men than even I could believe.
So if you’re gonna run, then baby please run slow.
Here’s a little something else you might need to know:
If you’re dumb enough to make mistakes and catch yourself too late,
I guess that makes you dumb enough to let me go.
I guess that makes you dumb enough.
And if you’re looking for approval here it goes:
I pray to God she learns to hold you close
and she gives you what you need.
You’ll be alright if she loves you half as much as you loved me.
