Steady from Other People by Patrick Duffin

I can tell he doesn’t love you
It’s the way he holds you loose around the waist.
It’s on his face,
And the way his feet are pointing to the gate.
Is it too late.

I can tell he doesn’t need you
It’s the way his eyes are looking for the door
It’s not your fault,
Perhaps it’s someone else he’s searching for,
Or something more…

And you wish you could be stronger,
But your brittle bones are going to break in two.
Because your heart is sick with longing,
And you just don’t know what you’re going to do.

Steady my girl
Steady my girl
You could learn to live with hurt a million ways,
Or waste a lifetime hoping he will change.

I can tell he doesn’t hear you,
It’s the way he’s always looking at his phone.
You’re not alone,
That other world’s more interesting to some.
They say it’s fun.

And you wish you could be stronger,
But your brittle bones are going to break in two.
Because your heart is sick with longing,
And you just don’t know what you’re going to do.

Steady my girl
Steady my girl
You could learn to live with hurt a million ways,
Or waste a lifetime hoping he will change.
Steady my girl

You could learn to live with hurt a million ways,
Or waste a lifetime hoping he will change.
