lyrics

When I walked out the door that day
I told you I wasn’t the one
You said I’d never seen the world
I won’t make it on my own
After all these years you still just carry on

When I walked out the door that day
You told me that I was wrong
You said I’d never seen the world
So protected by everyone

You can badmouth me all over town
I still won’t be the one
You can badmouth me
I still won’t be the one

Go on, take my picture of the wall
Go on, go and find another girl
A dumb one, who will worship at your feet
A young one, who will make you think of me

You can badmouth me all over town
I still won’t be the one
You can badmouth me
I still won’t be the one

No ones going to make me feel like you
No ones going to treat me like you do
No ones going to make me feel like shit
Ever again

You can badmouth me all over town
I still won’t be the one
Call me a trust-fund kid
A part-time princess
Living life for fun
I can pay my rent and there’s always someone if the money’s gone
You can badmouth me I still won’t be the one

I’m the voice in your head
I’m your favourite scent
I’m the animal hiding under your bed
I’m the place that you go when there’s no one else there
I’m the highway crash where you shouldn’t have stared
You’re just a man, you’re a piece of flesh
You can lie to yourself, you can lie to yourself

You can badmouth me all over town
I still won’t be the one
Call me a trust-fund kid
A part-time princess
Living life for fun
You can badmouth me I still won’t be the one
You can badmouth me I still won’t be the one
