Rebound Girl

Rebound Girl

Rebound girl, rebound girl
We're bound to end sooner or later
Rebound girl, your ex-girl
I sound like her but I can't replace her
Why do I keep trying
From the start we were dying
It's a messed up world
When you met me you found
Your rebound girl

I attract you
Just to distract you
I'll never have you
That's what a time filler does
Can't live up to perfection
Of your nostalgic obsession
I'm a funhouse reflection
Of everything she was

Rebound girl, rebound girl
We're bound to end sooner or later
Rebound girl, your ex-girl
I sound like her but I can't replace her
Why do I keep trying
From the start you were lying
To yourself and to me
She's gone and I'm around
Temporarily

It's my own fault I cared
My own heart's not fully repaired
Though at least I dared
To try it again
Her absence has kept
You completely bereft
And I'm all that's left
I don't need another friend

She gave you a lot
But i'm here and she's not
I'm offering what
You miss every night
You're glad to pretend
That you and her didn't end
While it's me in your bed
Turned off the lights

It's not fair I have to compete
With someone I'll never meet
Who made you complete

Rebound girl, rebound girl
We're bound to end sooner or later
Rebound girl, your ex-girl
I sound like her but I can't replace her
Why do I keep trying
From the start we were dying
It's a messed up world
When you met me you found
Your rebound girl
