Manslut

Go on
Tell her
Tell her half the girls in town know what she knows

Tell her
Half the girls in town
Know how she feels when you look her in the eyes
Know what she sees when she looks back into yours
Know those deep pools of confusion concealing the emptiness within
Those wild, swirling depths you’re drowning in

Tell her
Half the girls in town
Know how she feels when you hold her
Know the warmth of your gentle embrace
Know what a safe refuge you can be
Just staying in your arms, hiding from everything

Tell her
Half the girls in town
Know those shivers she feels when you stroke her hand
Know your intoxicating scent when you hold her close
Know the dizzying taste of your forbidden kiss
And the sound of your voice as you make drunken promises

Tell her
Half the girls in town
See that little boy trapped in a grown man’s body
That caged animal inside you struggling to break free
We all want to hold you, know you, make the pain go away
We all want to save you, but we all know we can’t

So go on
Tell her
Tell her the truth
That she has nothing special

She only has you
