Rosalie James - Girl I Was Lyrics

You were the blueprint you studied physics you moved to Oakland we stayed in contact
We made great music that sounded tragic you didn't know I was unconscious
You designed bathrooms in Australia you looked just like Egon Spengler
You said you loved me now you hate me I still wish you were my brother

When I first met you I didn't really like you (like you like you)
When I first met you I didn't really like you (like you like you)
It was just the girl I was

We danced 'til midnight you played the keyboard I just heard you were in rehab
Your toe's all f*cked up but you're pretty most of all I hope you're happy
You covered up a raft of feelings and my name upon your shoulder
You're 44 now you're 36 now you're 41 now always older than me

When I first met you I didn't really like you (like you like you)
When I first met you I didn't really like you (like you like you)
It was just the girl I was

How did you get so much of my power
Even the good ones can be the wrong ones sometimes

You found me wanting I wanted finding the sex was something you wanted babies
You twitched in your sleep I think you killed a man you were so handsome it was so ugly
You wrote my name on bits of paper just in case you lost your memory
You were a poet you talked in sonnets like once a slut always a slut

When I first met you I didn't really like you (like you like you like you)
When I first met you I didn't really like you (like you like you like you)
It was just the girl I was
