[Verse 1]
I wanna get close to you
To get me a little closer to myself
Under the skin of someone else
Is where my blood runs clean
And I've got a ghost, it’s you
In a stale bottle kept on the shelf
My heart like ice, in your hand melts
But it won't start the beating
[Pre-Chorus]
I know it isn't mine to say
But I can't stand to see you aching this way
[Chorus]
I'm not a good woman when I'm with you
Baby, that's why I'm gonna leave you
Don't have a good thing left to give
If I ever did, baby, you own it
I'm not a good woman when you love me
Your heart is way too high above me
Darling, I'm paying what I owe
I’m gonna let you find that kind of love that I don't know
[Verse 2]
It's been awhile now
Since I've been breathing on my own
Always so afraid of the unknown
I guess I am a coward, it would seem
But, it's only my body
Yeah, and it's only my mind
While it's your heart on the line
Left in the spaces in between
[Pre-Chorus]
And this can never be my place
To let your good lovin’ go to waste
[Chorus]
I'm not a good woman when I'm with you
Baby, that's why I'm gonna leave you
Don't have a good thing left to give
If I ever did, baby, you own it
I'm not a good woman when you love me
Your heart is way too high above me
Darling, I'm paying what I owe
I’m gonna let you find that kind of love that I don't know
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
And I wanna get close to you
To get me a little closer to myself
Under the skin of someone else is
Where my blood runs clean
[Chorus]
And I'm not a good woman when I'm with you
Not a good woman when I'm with you
Baby, that's why I'm gonna leave
I'm not a good woman
No, I'm not a good woman when you love me
Your heart is way too high above me
Darling, I'm reaping what I've sewn
I'm gonna let you find that kind of love that I don't know
