"Girl Like Me"

Would you sell your soul for someone just to talk to?
Would you close your eyes if I told you not to look?
I don't deserve a single thing I want so
Take it for granted
What's gone has been took

Well, someone hurt you and I'm sorry that you're lonely.
If you were everything you promised you would be
You wouldn't be in this place like this,
With a girl like me.

If you were everything you promised you would stand by
If you were half the qualities you boast
If you're in love then tell me why do I cry?
You're the one in love, but I miss you the most.

And if the world turned just to make you happy
If you were half the man you promised to be
You wouldn't be in this place with a girl like me.

And the moon only turns in circles
And my heart only beats so fast,
My heart,
Your soul.

So I guess I'm your "I told you you'd be sorry"
If only I could be your sacrificial lamb
Well if you're looking for blood from a stone, baby
I'll tell you one thing, that's exactly what I am

You just stand there and tell me I'm not worthy
For every little idiosyncrasy
The world turns just to make you happy
If you were everything you promised you would be
You wouldn't be in a place like this,
With a girl like me...
