Fireproof Girl
Hello darling number three
 It's nice to see that you are completely enamored with me
 But I have to ask you now to leave
 Because you are the "other woman" to another jealous woman, you see
 It might be best
 to just forget I exist
 I've met a lot of pretty women
 and you're not the prettiest by far.
 
 Hello mister, I confess
 You had my heart when you first told me that you were a mess
 I told you that I didn't care
 Said, "I'd love to have you love me and I don't mind if I have to share."
 But now I see
 I misjudged my ability
 to separate emotions from
 the basest of all human motions
 
 Goodbye darling, now you've learned
 That love can hurt you, even fireproof girls someday get burned
 And I really wish you wouldn't cry
 It will make me feel I'm guilty and I know that my eyes will remain dry.
 This is the end--
 but it doesn't mean we can't be friends!
 The sex was good, I guess, but you are
 just an empty vessel, it seems.
 
 Goodbye mister, see you've won!
 You've got new lovers but the damage to my heart has been done
 And I'll tell you everything's alright
 but I'm shaking underneath my skin and breaking open every night.
 You'll soon forget,
 another woman in your bed
 But I am ever tainted,
 ever frayed--
