[Verse 1]
Let me outside and into the yard
Leave me in the back of your car
Let me outside and into the yard
Leave me in the back of your car
[Chorus]
I'm just a lonely girl, life without disruption
I'm just a lonely girl, me, my self-destruction
I'm just a lonely girl, pet my head
I'm just a lonely girl
[Verse 2]
Go to work and leave me at home
Give me water, throw me a bone
Go to work and leave me at home
Give me water and throw me a bone
[Chorus]
I'm just a lonely girl, life without disruption
I'm just a lonely girl, me, my self-destruction
I'm just a lonely girl, pet my head
I'm just a lonely girl
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I'm just a lonely girl, life without disruption
I'm just a lonely girl, me, my self-destruction
I'm just a lonely girl, pet my head
I'm just a lonely girl

It was intentional to have this song come full circle. This song was the very first song Abby ever wrote, in 2011. It was on our first demo. It was on our first EP. We have versions of it that we’ve recorded that haven’t been released anywhere. It’s a song that has stayed with us the most consistent...
