Shortstraw - Backbone

Take out your backbone
You don't deserve a spine
There's no need to back down
I'm not looking for a fight
Oh and we bop around town
Oh what an awkward night
I can feel it in my bones
You look so radiant tonight oh oh oh

So scandalous
You never meant to break open your heart
But you made it so easy, so simple
Dear catalyst
You weren't exactly easy to forget
Now I'm just a prime example
If only it had just been, only it had just been, sex

And I apologise
I just needed to break a heart
To deal with this heartbreak
But you saw it coming from the start
You little vixen
You little light shining in the dark
I'm just overly smitten
And scared that we'll never be apart

So scandalous
You never meant to break open your heart
But you made it so easy, so simple
Dear catalyst
You weren't exactly easy to forget
Now I'm just a prime example
If only it had just been, only it had just been, sex

But you made it so hard
Now you're just a bitter memory
Oh you're just a memory

Oh if it had just been sex
But you made it so hard
Now I'm just a bitter memory
Oh, I'm still a memory oh
