Skeleton Girls

If she walked to the door,
Would you block the exit?
Try to steer her away?

If she cried to her mother about the things you told her
Would that be okay?

Because, honestly
No
Hon-es-ty
Is not my forte'

But it should be yours
Cause' you're not doing much to keep
Your skeleton girls away

Do you know how hard it is
To keep a smile on your face
As you're being pulled from place to place?
I don't think you do
Cause if you did you wouldn't chase,
Chase beyond your younger days
Though I knew you would

Chorus

It's not easy to tell,
With you,
Which beautiful girl is doomed
this is out of line falling into place

Still unlike you, to let a good girl
go to waste

If she fell to the floor, couldn't take anymore
Would you let her wake?

If she tied herself to the ceiling fan
feet planted on her casket would you beg her to stay?

Because, honestly
No
Hon-es-ty
Is not my forte'

But it should be yours
Cause' you're not doing much to keep
Your skeleton girls away

Do you know how hard it is
To keep a smile on your face
As you're being pulled from place to place?
I don't think you do
Cause if you did you wouldn't chase,
Chase beyond your younger days
Though I knew you would

Chorus

It's not easy to tell,
With you,
Which beautiful girl is doomed
This is out of line falling into place

Still unlike you, to let a good girl
go to waste
