  • (One, two, three, one, two, three)

    You're just a boy
    And I've heard about boys
    Yeah, you take what you want and you leave us in pieces
    I was an optimist
    He said it seemed like I wanted it
    Oh, ever since then it's felt like a weakness

    Now it's not easy to do
    It's taken me twenty-eight years
    To let anyone touch me the way I let you

    Kiss me slowly but not so gently
    Oh, whisper a word in my ear like a secret

    Melted like butter
    Always the fucked and never the fucker
    Rewrite the rules and start from scratch again

    Now it's not easy to do
    It's taken me twenty-eight years
    To let anyone touch me the way I let you

    I still remember the time
    You look me dead in the eyes
    And I realized that my body was mine, mine Writer/s: Orla Gartland
