Golden Girl

(album: I Can't Cry For You - 2020)

I tried to engage but I can't fake it like I used to, babe
It's not you, it's me, I just don't have the energy
To reassure you that I still adore you when we both know it isn't the same

I don't mind from time to time being left alone
And I wish you wouldn't get so blue
I'm never gonna be a golden girl
And that's not on you, it's just not in view

And you wish I wasn't so cold
Call it cruel, I call it control
It's not you, it's me, I just hate vulnerability
I can't cry for you, I know you want me to but I'd rather die than unfold

I don't mind from time to time being left alone
And I wish you wouldn't get so blue
I'm never gonna be a golden girl
And that's not on you, it's just not in view

It's not you, it's me, I just hate vulnerability (Never gonna be a, never gonna be a, never gonna be a golden girl)
It's not you, it's me, I just hate vulnerability (I don't have the patience, I don't have the time, I don't know what to say to give you some peace of mind)
It's not you, it's me, I just hate vulnerability (I don't have the patience, I don't have the time, I don't know what to say to give you some peace of mind)
It's not you, it's me, I just hate vulnerability (Never gonna be a, never gonna be a, never gonna be a golden girl)

I don't mind from time to time being left alone
And I wish you wouldn't get so blue
I'm never gonna be a golden girl
And that's not on you, it's just not in view
