Tippy Toes (demo) Lyrics

I'm not superstitious

But there's someone always looming

It tangles me up like ivy

Strangles the passion that is blooming

I'm haunted by the ghosts

The ghosts of all the girls who had to

Get on their tippy toes to kiss you

And I'm haunted by the ghosts

The ghosts of all the girls to who you

Meant it when you told them "I love you"

I'm scared that one day

You'll find a pocket-sized princess

With a heart of gold,

Less baggage and less body to hold

Took some girl pills and

I thought I was above it

I looked at my body

And I thought that I could love it

I know it's stupid

Because I'd trust you with a knife to my neck

And a girl in your bed but

Seeing you look down at her just fucks with my head

Because one day you'll leave

For a girl who'll give you everything I can't

Maybe one day I'll see that you'll stay

Not just despite but as a plan

Meek obsequious transsexual

Pretending that she's healed

With a stepping stone body

At the center of a minefield

I'll let you in to see just how hard I can push you out

Can't love you like you deserve to be

Can't love you like you deserve to be

I'm haunted by the ghosts

The ghosts of all the girls who had to

Get on their tippy toes to kiss you

And I'm haunted by the ghosts

The ghosts of all the girls to who you

Meant it when you told them "I love you"

And I'm scared

And I'm scared
