I met a new one and she looks just like you

She gives me everything that you didn't want to

And maybe, maybe I don't need saving after all

She sticks in my ribs almost better than you did

And maybe I'm tired, or maybe she glows

And I wonder if you're still defending

And I wonder if you're still defending

'Cause you've been so wrong

For so long now

You've been so wrong

For so long now

Met someone with your eyes and skin

I can convince her of anything

And baby, it's so delicious you should

Come here and see for yourself

"I'm gone," you said, "if this is all there is'

You'll never shine alone

And I wonder if you're still defending

I wonder if you're still defending

Cause you've been so wrong

For so long now

You've been so wrong

For so long now

Your new anthem's to breathe

And I've got you on my answering machine

I've kissed others lips

And they promised me healing

It's easy if you try

And I wonder if you're still defending

I wonder if you're still defending

You've been so wrong

For so long now

You've been so wrong

For so long now

Your new anthem's to breathe

And I've got you on my answering machine

I can fall alone if all

If I can fall away

I can fall alone if all

If I can fall away
