lyrics

Straight girls are gonna break your heart
Straight girls will never learn your middle name
I tried to tell you from the start
You keep running back to play their little games

Straight girls are gonna break your heart
They keep you up, wondering when they'll call you back
She can never give you what you want
A puff of smoke slipping right between the cracks

I don't mind if you
Stay the night, but could you
Tell me when the sky is falling, cause I
Can't be there every time you're calling, and I
Think it's best you do this on your own

Cherry lipstick in the winking lights
Bass pounding through your veins down to your toes
She makes you see the stars, they shine so bright
But don't you wonder why she never takes you home

I don't mind if you
Stay the night, but could you
Tell me when the sky is falling, cause I
Can't be there every time you're calling, and I
Think it's best you do this on your own

Straight girls are gonna break your heart
It's bad enough they never want to seal the deal
Sand castles built to fall apart
Trust me when I say I know just how you feel

I don't mind if you
Stay the night, but could you
Tell me when the sky is falling, cause I
Can't be there every time you're calling, and I
Think it's best you do this on your own
