Lyrics Missy Higgins

Missy Higgins

The Wrong Girl

So the gloodgates 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

Id'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
