A Grave Situation

from The New Me by Carter Prescott

/

lyrics

She was a good girl
Never got herself into trouble
But the way she's living has me working on the double
I don't know what I'm meant to say
But I'll tell her that I love and she's great anyway
She was a good girl
Never got herself into trouble
But the way she's living has me working on the double
I don't know what I'm meant to say
But I'll tell her that I love and she's great anyway

With every boy that she'd ever meet
They'd have her taken off her clothes and gettin' under the sheets
They'd be crawlin' up beside her as they said farewell
"Baby you won't live to see another day if you tell"
So she'd walk back home, cry her makeup off
Call me up and say "it happened again, speak soft"
Baby, you ain't got a clue what I told you to do
So many times before
And now you're sleeping on the floor

She was a good girl
Never got herself into trouble
But the way she's living has me working on the double
I don't know what I'm meant to say
But I'll tell her that I love and she's great anyway
She was a good girl
Never got herself into trouble
But the way she's living has me working on the double
I don't know what I'm meant to say
But I'll tell her that I love and she's great anyway

With every song that she'd ever sing
I heard her beautiful voice and the ukulele's twang
I watched her change from an angel to a devil
Everybody's got their problems
Everybody's on their level
I don't know where to go from here
So I'll kick it on my couch and forget about her
She'll be doing her drugs and gettin' fucked up
But I don't care
No, I don't care

She was a good girl
Never got herself into trouble
But the way she's living has me working on the double
I don't know what I'm meant to say
But I'll tell her that I love and she's great anyway
She was a good girl
Never got herself into trouble
But the way she's living has me working on the double
I don't know what I'm meant to say
But I'll tell her that I love and she's great anyway
