Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're just a boy
And I've heard about boys
Yeah, you take what you want and you leave us in pieces
[Verse 2]
I was an optimist
He said it seemed like I wanted it
Oh, ever since then, it's felt like a weakness
[Chorus]
Now it's not easy to do
It's taken me twenty-eight years
To let anyone touch me the way I let you
[Verse 3]
Kiss me slowly
But not so gently
Oh, whisper a word in my ear like a secret
[Verse 4]
Melted like butter
Always the fucked
Never the fucker
Rewrite the rules and start from scratch again
[Chorus]
Now it's not easy to do
It's taken me twenty-eight years
To let anyone touch me the way I let you
[Outro]
I still the remember the time
You looked me dead in the eyes
And I realised that my body was mine
Mine
