party girls don't get hurt.

I have never been the one

To see where I am going

Won’t look down

Won’t open my eyes

Spend my days locked in a haze

My thoughts so cloudy

 

Can’t go home alone again

Imma be so cold

Need someone to numb the pain

Lick my lips, toss my hair

             (                                                                                            a real fake )

 

Every step

Won’t second guess

Please don’t go

I know it’s going to hurt                         ( you said this would never hurt )

Trying to forget you babe

When will I learn?

 

But I can take it

I brace myself

I push it down

Loosen up the frown

Put your hands on my waist

I wanna make a big mistake

 

I’m faking glory,

I’ll be the king—

Staying in my play pretend;;

 

( Here comes the shame

Out of place

                                Gonna blow myself away a g a i n )
