The girl I left behind me   Was bad at being good   The happiest arsonist that ever was   The happiest communist that ever was      The girl I left behind me   You said she would do   I know who I want to be, be worthy of you   So why do I change myself to be worthy of you?      She's a needer, a bleeder   And she likes to be on top   She's a girlfriend, a whirlwind   And not so logical   But she's an ocean in motion   And magical   You won't let her shine      The girl I left behind me   We've spoken once or twice   She says I have twice her strength   Well isn't that nice?   She says I can call her anywhere or anytime      She's a needer, a bleeder   And I know that says a lot   She's a girlfriend, a whirlwind   And not so logical   But she's an ocean in motion   And magical   You won't let her shine   She's an ocean in motion   And magical   You won't let her shine      You watch me as I fall apart for you   You watch me as I fall apart for you   And I waste myself, and I waste myself   And I waste myself      The girl I left behind me   Was bad at being good   The happiest arsonist that ever was   The happiest communist that ever was
