made him a dream catcher with a doe charm in it
and he hasn't hit a deer since
your faith in god bordered on cultish
but I thought you were a witch
and when I see you anymore, you're a doll propped up on the couch
from your summer gown, to your fickle hair
to your painted, placid mouth
and I remember you from high school
and I remember you husky and mean
and I remember when you started throwing up your food
and flaunting your brand new size 3 jeans
when I graduated I was hired at the same Arby's you'd worked at before
they said you kept fainting from hunger and they got tired of picking you off the floor
wanted to get to know you, but you wouldn't take my help
you were busy waiting for your prince to come, you were busy waiting to be held
and I thought you were vain
and I thought you were weak
and I thought that you were stuck up
'cause you wouldn't ever speak to me
the last time that I saw you was the night before you left
and you were sweet as honeydew, said you were moving south and starting fresh
and I can respect that 'cause, y'know I've been wanting that for years
and I don't hope that you get what you want, but I hope you learn to dry your tears
'cause honey, don't you know that men won't save you anymore
and if you want safe harbor, you're better off on your own shores
and I'm not telling you to stay, 'cause I know after so many mistakes
you're better off just throwing it all away
