I was the belle of the Governor's Ball

Hiding in the bathroom like Shelley Duvall

You had a nosebleed, you were in my way

And you didn't remind me of anything

Let's see how long we can go without touching

Why don't you sing me to sleep?

I know you'd never actually think about jumping

But do it for me

Two kids in a trenchcoat living alone

I was too happy to feel at home

Dancing ourselves clean late New Year's Eve

You deserved better, you wanted me

So let's see how long we can go without talking

Watching me pretending to sleep

I'm next to you, you're next to nothing

You promised that you'd never leave

But maybe you'll do it for me

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Now

Let's see how far I can run without stopping

And she can pretend to be me

Since she took my place in my bed on that stage

I have not lost any sleep

Being myself wasn't easy, do it for me
