Between Halloweens - The Matches

It’s not the girl who we let tear through our core

It’s the tear there before that made this girl into more

Skin, white sheets

The dawn’s printless snow

Nothing to define the difference

Just lit lips under a flame of curls

Many a prince has since us blown dark

But it’s not the girl who we let tear through our core

It’s the tear there before that made this girl into more

We’ll make mistakes in the wake of mistakes

But not wake again to this one

When looks fade we’ll still reflect in verse

She’ll dissolve to apparition

Slight from stark

Once light, now blown dark

But it’s not the girl who we let tear through our core

It’s the tear there before that made this girl into more

She don’t deserve love

She’ll get what she’s deserving of

We don’t deserve love

We’ll get what we’re deserving of

I don’t deserve love

You’ll get what you’re deserving of

We all get what we’re deserving of

But it’s not the girl who we let tear through our core

It’s the tear there before that made this girl into more

I was a duke last Halloween

This year, gonna be James Dean

Just wish I knew who we are in between
