She Said from Mean Reds by Laura Ann Singh

She said let’s write a song
She said that’s the shit that’s the one
I feel electric inside
I can do anything with her by my side

Her words cut like a knife
Her moods ring thru my life
She isn’t hung up like me
She is exactly who she seems to be

She’s ruthless
But truthful I know
But she says things I don’t want to know
I never used to get mad
Or maybe I just didn’t know what I was

She’s drunk and she’s up in my face
She says let’s get out of this place
She says you’re too good for this
Stop wasting time and caring about the wrong shit

But I love her
And I think she loves me
But love is complicated
Toss and turns me like the sea
When I found her it felt like I found me
She’s all the things I hate and wish I could be

There was this time we stayed awake all night
And when morning came
We drove to watch the sunrise
But fell asleep at dawn and woke up in the rain
She said …
It doesn’t really matter what she said
