Wondering - haven i given up my dreaming?
Come down from the ceiling
I won't do that again
Thinking - my misspent history
Mistakes to teach me
I won't do that again
Dreams i kept as h child
Kept me quiet and hypnotised
Cooked away my valentines
Served myself up every night
Couldn't see me for the trees
And all that hallmark poetry
I'm not the girl i used to be (2x)
Wondering - haven i given up my dreaming?
Come down from the ceiling
I won't do that again
Thinking - my misspent history
Mistakes to teach me
I won't do that again
Trying to break the family ties
Choclate hearts and tackly lies
Heard a thousand crappy lines
And i believe them every time
So i beg to disagree
Love's not taking all of me
I'm not the girl i used to be (3x)
Wondering - haven i given up my dreaming?
Come down from the ceiling
I won't do that again
Thinking - my misspent history
Mistakes to teach me
I won't do that again
