lyrics

Half past 3 at the bus station
You arrived in his car
I should have seen by the smirk on his face
That you’d be kissing in a while
Y’all took me home to drop of my bags
Then you hugged me goodbye
I should have seen by the smirk on his face
That you’d be kissing in a while

When you said you hadn’t felt like this girl
In a couple weeks
And you hadn’t had a smile so wide that showed all your premolars
And you said that we’d never fail
But I guess the fat lady sang hallelujah
Hallelujah

And you said
That you would love
To see us bloom like a flower in June
And you said
That you would love
To see us bloom like a flower in June

Heartbreak sickness
Cuts on my skin
Feeling helpless
Maybe I should slit my wrists
But there’s so much to do
There’s so much to loose
There’s so much to prove
I got so much to prove

'Cause you said you hadn’t felt like this girl
In a couple weeks
And you hadn’t had a smile so wide that showed all your premolars
And you said that we’d never fail
But I guess the fat lady sang hallelujah
Hallelujah

And you said
That you would love
To see us bloom like a flower in June
And you said
That you would love
To see us bloom like a flower in June
