June Henry - Getting tested

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1966225
Tired tipsy body how I toppled when you saw me
Used to try to be so strong for you
Someday I will get to be the weak one
Does there even need to be a weak one?

What you showed and taught me
Breathed like oxygen, you rot me
Back to square one and then back some
Four months away I'm not losing weight anymore
My friends say I've got my life back
Do I want you or my life more?

And I dress different now
But we still dress the same
Saw you in the waiting room
Of course we went the same day
My tests all came back clean, but I felt so filthy
Knowing when I peed in that cup
You were in the same building

I put my sample on the shelf
And put my lipgloss on
In case you were in the hallway
When I got done
I hate how I perform for you
Even to this day
I hate dreaming of you
I hate that new boy's stupid face

Outro

I hate dreaming of you
I hate that new boy's stupid face
I hate dreaming of you
I hate that new boy's stupid face
