lyrics

You were cold when I met you
You were difficult to please
I tried to give you some space
But then you moved back close to me

I tried to guess your intentions
But you were so hard to read

And I saw you melt into a puddle
I saw that smile on your face
I couldn’t tell what you wanted
I guess you liked it that way

But now you’re telling me
I was crazy to see something there
Well that’s a hard pill to swallow, babe

I guess that I don’t love you anymore
I guess that I don’t love you anymore
Try to ‘member the feelings that I had before
But I’m done with you

And I guess I don’t know what I was fighting for
Couldn’t win the battle or the war
Now, I’m just another trans girl
Walking home alone tonight
What’s new?

But I ain’t gonna fall apart
And I ain’t gonna “be that guy”
And I ain’t gonna text you back
And I ain’t gonna cross that line

And maybe it’s weird right now
But maybe it’ll be just fine

It’s just gonna take some time

I need time to be angry
I need time to cry
I need time to fucking hate you
I need time to wonder why
You teased me with the idea
That maybe you’d be mine

It’s just gonna take some time

And I ain’t gonna freak out
And I ain’t gonna shut down
I only wanted
To feel wanted
By you

And I know you didn’t mean to
But I felt so damn far beneath you
And I’m done trying
To justify myself to you

I guess that I don’t love you anymore
I guess that I don’t love you anymore
Try to ‘member the feelings that I had before
But I’m done with you

And I guess I don’t know what I was fighting for
Couldn’t win the battle or the war
Now, I’m just another trans girl
Walking home alone tonight
What’s new?

But I ain’t gonna fall apart
And I ain’t gonna “be that guy”
And I ain’t gonna text you back
And I ain’t gonna cross that line

And maybe it’s weird right now
But maybe it’ll be just fine

It’s just gonna take some time

I need time to be angry
I need time to cry
I need time to fucking hate you
I need time to wonder why
You teased me with the idea
That maybe you’d be mine

But it’s just gonna take some time

It’s just gonna take some time
It’s gonna take some time
I can’t be near you right now
I just need to take some time
It’s gonna take some time
It’s gonna take some time
It’s just gonna take some time

I need time to be angry
I need time to cry
I need time to fucking hate you
I need time to wonder why
You teased me with the idea
That maybe you’d be mine

It’s just gonna take some time
