My heart is a cemetery for dead children
And your head is a playground for the deceased
I take my coffee invisible
You take four sugars

All of your previous lovers hate me
But I cannot stand them either
You lay in your big white bed
I sleep in my crimson cot

We are meant to be
Like your dad and money
We never part, never leave
You get sick of me and yell

But I am a little girl for you
I will follow you to your grave
Follow you to your grace

Your gravestone will read
"Poets don't die,
They fade away"
At your funeral everybody will laugh

And the sun will shine on my face
The grass in my toes
I'll cry but not for long
And I'll take your place dutifully

Step into your shoes
Make others little girls
Begging for acceptance
Because I was the second

And the first to be a fool
I will take others under my arm
I will become all you've longed to be
I will do all I want whenever

I will
I will
