Girl Blue – One & Only lyrics

[Verse 1]
Met you in your shadowed dark
Absinthe bar
You shaved your head
It left a scar
We bunkered down
Windowless room
Our hateful sex
I love, you lose
You bathed me
Laid me down, clean sheets
We took half of that blue pill each
Our vacant dates
Carnival shows
That Ferris wheel
Our highest low

[Pre-Chorus]
I should have believed you when you said you felt a rope around your neck
Instead I believed you when you said that we were back to back
And I've never been one to ask for a hand
Never been one to take what was given
Never seen love so cold and undressed
Never lived life so lifeless

[Chorus]
Oh, my one and only
Only leaves me lonely
Only leaves me lonely
Oh, if I could only
Leave my one and only

[Verse 2]
Read all of your movie scripts with murder scenes
Familiar faces, all I see
My happy made you sad and sly
Your honest made me beg for lies
A temper tantrum's bloated world
Staccato man, limber girl
The rippling wolves
The paper moon
The dial tone
The dancer's doomed

[Pre-Chorus]
And I should have believed you when you said you felt a rope around your throat
Instead I believed you when you said you still had hope
And I've never been one to ask for a hand
Never been one to take what was given
Never seen love so cold and undressed
Never lived life so lifeless

[Chorus]
Oh, my one and only
Only leaves me lonely
Only leaves me lonely
Oh, if I could only
Leave my one and only

[Bridge]
Your creepy creature
My bloodless heart
You fill me up
My shadowed dark
I love you like I love myself
Like no one, like nobody else

[Pre-Chorus]
I should have believed you when you said you felt a rope around your neck
Instead I believed you when you said that we were back to back
Now I've never been one to ask for a hand
Never been one to take what was given
Never seen love so cold and undressed
Never lived life so lifeless

[Chorus]
Oh, my one and only
Only leaves me lonely
Only leaves me lonely
Oh, if I could only
Leave my one and only
