The wrong girl

So the floodgates open but nothing comes out
I´m feeling no relief in my head, just doubt
But my heart keeps telling me ´hold your ground
You´ll never learn a thing if you bail out now´
And I´m lonely again tonight
I can feel it like a knot in my side
They keep saying this is part of the ride
But I´m not getting stronger
Yet hold me against the light
And do you see any bullet inside?
Wouldn´t find one if you magnified
Because you´ve got the wrong girl
Had my fingers around the back of your chair
You´d never miss a thing but you missed me there
And I just kept thinking ´Am I prepared
To pull it out from under your trusting stare?´
Now the house is quiet as a hollow head
And I´m walking round bumping into things you said
This has not been as easy as I thought it would
I´d be cooling down the fire if I thought I could
But I´m lonely again tonight
I can feel it like a knot in my side
They keep saying this is part of the ride
But I´m not getting stronger
Yet hold me against the light
And do you see any bullet inside?
Wouldn´t find one if you magnified
Because you´ve got the wrong girl
I´m feeling no relief in my head, just doubt
But my heart keeps telling me ´hold your ground
You´ll never learn a thing if you bail out now´
And I´m lonely again tonight
I can feel it like a knot in my side
They keep saying this is part of the ride
But I´m not getting stronger
Yet hold me against the light
And do you see any bullet inside?
Wouldn´t find one if you magnified
Because you´ve got the wrong girl
Had my fingers around the back of your chair
You´d never miss a thing but you missed me there
And I just kept thinking ´Am I prepared
To pull it out from under your trusting stare?´
Now the house is quiet as a hollow head
And I´m walking round bumping into things you said
This has not been as easy as I thought it would
I´d be cooling down the fire if I thought I could
But I´m lonely again tonight
I can feel it like a knot in my side
They keep saying this is part of the ride
But I´m not getting stronger
Yet hold me against the light
And do you see any bullet inside?
Wouldn´t find one if you magnified
Because you´ve got the wrong girl
