lyrics

All of my life I’ve been such a lonely girl
(I can’t just fall in love like you phonies).
All of my life I’ve been such a lonely girl.

How many times do I have to break down?
The shit I do is not for you it’s just, you know —
it’s complicated.
Haven’t I, oh, haven’t I, oh, haven’t I been good to you?
For all that you know, I’ve been nothing but true.


Oh, oh, this little life;
it keeps its petty pace
for dudes with their hard-ons,
while you and I just suffocate.

All of my life I’ve been such a lonely girl
(It’s not your fault. Don’t say, ‘I’m sawry.’).
All of my life I’ve been such a lonely girl.

Oh, and I’ll leave the light on
(I won’t be sleeping anyway).
And I’ll leave the light on
(so we can make believe it’s day).
And I’ll leave the light on
(so you can see my gaping eyes).

And I’ll leave the light on and on and on
you go.

All of my life I’ve been such a lonely girl!
All of my life I’ve been such a lonely girl!

Oh, oh, this little life;
it keeps its petty pace
for dudes with their hard-ons,
while you and I just suffocate.

Oh, oh, this little life;
it keeps its petty pace
for chicks with their hard-ons,
while you and I just suffocate.

Oh, oh, this little life;
it keeps its petty pace
for dudes with their hard-ons,
while you and I just suffocate.
