So you sail across the ocean

Making plans to meet your family

Clutching packages and photographs

Of those you left behind you

And of those you left behind you

I’m the only one still waiting

For the photographs to find me

And the postcards to remind me



I’m not your girl

I’m not your baby now

This is your world

I did not let you down



So you’re locked inside the cardboard

Waiting for the man to find you

You can save me from the sideboard table

Kill the lights to find you

And you still can taste the boredom

Of the days you left behind you

You can hear the indecision

That has followed you halfway across the world



I’m not your baby now

This is your world

I did not let you down

I’m not your girl



I’m not the girl you left behind you

I’m not the flame you held inside you

It’s not the world you used to live in

I’m not the one who needs forgiving

I’m not your girl
