Ordinary Girl Lyrics

Abandoned sandals on the edge of the strand

A band of vandals carving hearts in the sand

You got two candles lighting up the wasteland

Too hot to handle and I'll just get burned where I stand

And I'll cast into the wind the things we planned

And I'll depend on my friends to lend a hand

And yet I don't think that they will understand

I just can't speak, there's too much to say

Once I was laughing, now I'm crying

Once I was living, now I'm dying

Thought I had someone I could trust in

Thought it was love but it was just in my head

Memories comfort me instead

Memories comfort me instead

Memories comfort me instead

Memories comfort me instead

Remember hours blazing many a trail

Among the flowers, through the sleet and the hail

While all the others ducked for cover and hid

We were the lovers who discovered and always did

Was the connection infused between our souls

A mere confection you used to seize control?

With no direction we spin into a hole

Look what it's cost since we lost our way

Once I was laughing, now I'm crying

Once I was living, now I'm dying

Thought I had someone I could trust in

Thought it was love but it was just in my head

Memories comfort me instead

Memories comfort me instead

Memories comfort me instead

Memories comfort me (oh yeah)

The sun was rising through a thicket of trees

Trailing horizons we were ready to seize

Wasting my destiny in staring at screens

Taking what's left of me and tearing it at the seams

How can you sleep with the damage that you've done

Knowing I now barely manage to go on

Oh what a dastardly web we both have spun

Until I rot I will rue the day

How do you rectify the wreck of

What was a prosperous and true love

Then in a rupture so abrupt it

Deftly corrected then corrupted your world?

She was an ordinary girl (she was an ordinary)

She was an ordinary girl (she was an ordinary)

She was an ordinary girl (she was an ordinary)

She was an ordinary girl
