10/8/11 (i) The Spurway Pirouette - Hellions

Pour me up a real strong one girl

I’ve got a phantom to forget, so let’s make this hurt

There may be only one more thing

That you can’t take away from me

My stupid sense of honesty

You take for granted consciously

Everything you took from me

With lies and infidelity

I’m finally free, I finally learned how to breathe

I woke up, 21

To an email I hoped would never come

31 of 365, still young

Of all the people you meet

Of all the company you keep

He was always there

Right beside you, right in front of me

Remember girl, our open door

A home unlocked to any friend of yours

But you sold us out, yeah you fucked it all up

It took everything I had in me

To set the one that mattered free

Just to watch you rot, crawl back and flee, again

So I ran, just like you did

When we were kids

Sometimes, people just change

There’s no saving face once a mind is made

Granted, once I shut the doors and drew the shades on you

But it doesn’t validate the shit you put me through

I’ve heard enough to let go and take control of my life

I loved you, but I know that it wasn’t our time

Remember girl, our open door

A home unlocked to any friend of yours

But you sold us out, yeah you fucked it all up

It took everything I had in me

To set the one that mattered free

Just to watch you rot, crawl back and flee, again

All is said and done, so just do me this honour

Stay faithful to him and be good to your mother

I have every reason to smile

And I lead a life free of spite and denial

I’m so lucky to have learned so much, so young

Remember girl, our open door

A home unlocked to any friend of yours

But you sold us out, yeah you fucked it all up

It took everything I had in me

To set the one that mattered free

Just to watch you rot, crawl back and flee, again
