First draft - Poor Girl

I used to use your name as a way to curse, 
so i could ease the pain so it wouldn't hurt
I never realised what you meant to me
until I did silly things, and we let it be

Talking out my problems to everyone with ears
wiping off my makeup with instant regret and beers
knocking back vodka tequila and rum
until i couldn't see and my body was all numb

Wake up and fix me please,
pull this poor girl up off her knees
wake up and fix me please,
for i dont know where my home is

I'd get weak one day and text you on your phone
hoping you'd feel the same and that i was not alone.
it was selfish and i should not of done it
i wanted to hear i miss you even just a little bit

Talking out my problems to everyone with ears
wiping off my makeup with instant regret and beers
knocking back vodka tequila and rum
until i couldn't see and my body was all numb

Wake up and fix me please,
pull this poor girl up off her knees
wake up and fix me please,
for i dont know where my home is

You were the lyrics to my favourite song
the melody I'd hum to all night long
from morning thorough to night
when the rhythm was far from sight 
I'd look up to the sky
and wonder why

Talking out my problems to everyone with ears
wiping all my makeup with instant regret and beers
knocking back vodka tequila and rum
until i couldn't see and my body was all numb

Wake up and fix me please,
pull this poor girl up off her knees
wake up and fix me please,
for i dont know where my home is
