lyrics

When I don’t hear from him
I know why that is
I know that he’s with her
I know that she’s his
Possession is 9/10ths of the law
So I guess it’s fair
He’s only mine one tenth of the time
Yeah like I care...

He was only ever meant to be a stop-gap, girls
You know one to fill the spaces
Leave no residue or traces
Now I think somebody is gonna get burned
Oh and didn’t I tell you this would run?
This feels like a marathon...

Oh now listen to me girls
If I’m talking ‘bout your man
Take him far, far from here
Run as fast you can
It’s not like I think that I’m special, or proud
Please don’t think it’s that
It’s not like I want to be sneaking around
Like some alleycat

I was never ever meant to be a stop gap girl
You know one to fill the spaces
Leave no evidence or traces
My sister tells me this shouldn’t be my world
But oh, if the cap fits
Are you destined to wear it?

He was only ever meant to be a stop-gap
I was never ever meant to be a stop- gap
He was only ever meant to be a stop-gap, girls
Oh and I, was never mean to be a stop-gap girl.
