Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Run, whirlwind, run
Further and further away into the sun
In twenty minutes
Everyone will remember you when you're gone
And your heart, is a stone
Buried underneath your pretty clothes
[Verse 2]
Don't you know people write songs
About girls like you?
Like you
[Verse 3]
What will you do when something stops you?
What will you say to the world?
What will you be when it all comes crashing
Down on you, little girl?
What would you do if you lost your beauty
And how would you deal with the light?
How would you feel if nobody chased you?
Would if it happened tonight?
[Verse 4]
How would you cope if the world decided
To make you suffer for all that you are?
How could you dance if no one was watching
And you couldn't even get off the floor?
What would you do if you couldn't even feel
Not even pity for pain?
How would you deal with the empty decisions
Eating away at the days?
[Verse 5]
Don't you know people write songs
About girls like you?
Girls like you
Girls like you
[Verse 6]
And don't you know people write songs
About girls like you?
Girls like you
Girls like you
[Verse 7]
Everything you say is fire
All the claims you made, you liar
Everything you say is fire
See it in the gray, you crier
[Verse 8]
Don't you know people write songs
About girls like you?
Girls like you
Girls like you
[Verse 9]
Everything you say is fire
Don't you know people write songs
About girls like you?
Girls like you
All the claims you made, you liar
Girls like you
[Verse 10]
Everything you say is fire
Don't you know people write songs
About girls like you
See it in the gray, you crier
Girls like you
