Lyrics[]
Let her love you, the only way she can
With bottles and her momma’s cigarettes.
Let her love you, the only way she can
She poses and blows up again.
The only thing that ever came easy to her, was me
The only thing that ever came easy to her, was me and tragedy
So girl go ahead and drink, I can only be so many things
Girl go ahead and drink, I can only be so many things
But when you leave, please
Leave your pretty to me.
Let her lose you, the only way she can
Gorgeous, passed out on the cement.
Let her lose you, the only way she can
Crying, but laughing, brilliant.
The only thing that ever came easy to her, was me
The only thing that ever came easy to her, was me and tragedy
So girl go ahead and drink, I can only be so many things
Girl go ahead and drink, I can only be so many things
But when you leave, please
leave your pretty to me.
The only thing that ever came easy to her, was me
The only thing that ever came easy to her, was me and tragedy
So girl go ahead and drink, I can only be so many things
Girl go ahead and drink, I can only be so many things
Girl go
Girl go drink.
Girl go ahead and drink, I can only be so many things
Oh, girl go ahead and drink, I can only be so many things, oh
When you leave, please
when you leave, please
when you leave, please
Leave your pretty to me.
