A Girl Alone
Penelope Scott
You can't leave me alone
If you do, I'm gonna be gone again
You can't leave me alone
Unless you want me to travel through time
If you leave me by myself
I'll find heaven and I'll find hell
I'm a live wire, I'm a raw nerve, I am a girl
I can't be by myself ever again
I can't be left to my own devices without any friends
I used to be alone a lot of the time
And no one likes what I tended to find
I'm a deep hole, I'm a good dog, I am a girl
When you leave, I trip and fall through a hole in the floor
And the elder seagulls corrupt me and make me a—
At a certain point in the night
God help us, I might start to write
I'm a door, I'm a vessel
I'm a nightmare, I am a girl
Don't come back, don't go away
What would I be if you didn't stay?
Get out of my head, get in my face
What are we doing when you're out on the road all day?
