Acquaintances - The Bitter End

She’s a stranger to herself

A lover to her friends

Acquaintances on shelves

And the kisses make amends

When she says she needs you

She wants you by her side

But when she says she wants you

It’s a casual aside

I’ve seen her at her parties

All her boyfriends gathered 'round

They tell her what she wants to hear

She needs to hear that sound

Don’t you get too close

Don’t you get too near

She won’t let you touch her

It’s her one and only fear

Don’t tell me it’s her age

Don’t tell me it’s her way

I’ve see the way that she behaves

And when the tide has turned

When the lesson’s learned

Will it be the same?

She’s a stranger to herself

A lover to her friends

Acquaintances on shelves

The kisses make amends

And when she says she needs you

She wants you by her side

But when she says she wants you

It’s a casual aside
