Lyrics Missy Higgins – The Wrong Girl

So the floodgates open but nothing comes out
I’m feeling no relief in my head, just doubt
But my heart keeps telling me «Hold your ground
You’ll never learn a thing if you bail out now»

And I’m lonely again tonight
I can feel it like a knot in my side
They keep saying this is part of the ride
But I’m not getting stronger

Yet hold me against the light
And do you see any bullet inside?
Wouldn’t find one if you magnified
Because you’ve got the wrong girl

Had my fingers around the back of your chair
You’d never miss a thing but you missed me there
And I just kept thinking «Am I prepared
To pull it out from under your trusting stare?»

Now the house is quiet as a hollow head
And I’m walking round bumping into things you said
This has not been as easy as I thought it would
I’d be cooling down the fire if I thought I could

And I’m lonely again tonight
I can feel it like a knot in my side
They keep saying this is part of the ride
But I’m not getting stronger

Yet hold me against the light
And do you see any bullet inside?
Wouldn’t find one if you magnified
Because you’ve got the wrong girl
Yeah, you’ve got the wrong girl

Oooohh

I see you there

And the flood gates open but nothing comes out
