Even My Girl

i saw the skin
i heard the tales
they made no sense

motives were unclear
details didn't add up
plotlines came and went

and she's the first true love of ours
the sea and the stars
a poet's heart, a princess's curls
nobody gets to hurt my girl
not even my girl

with just a trace
we took the case
we combed the scene

begging for more clues
just one good excuse
just one time machine

you with your stones, you with your stares
your thoughts and your prayers
best shut your mouths and clutch your pearls
nobody gets to hurt my girl
not even my girl

and if i see she's hurt, my girl
well, hell, i'm gonna help my girl
cuz god knows how she feels, my girl
gonna hold her til she heals, my girl

finally some peace
but what a beast
a trail, a trial

may those nights have passed
and these scars be the last
more than for a while

she's gonna glow, yeah, once again
and laugh with her friends
she's gonna sing and twist and twirl
because nobody gets to hurt my girl
not even my girl
nobody's gonna hurt my girl
not even my girl
