Lyrics: The Softies. An Awful Mess.

somewhere beneath her taffeta dress
I think I see a heart shaped scar
somewhere inside her tiny wave
I think I see a tiny star

she's saving it up, it's pulling her down
she's saving it up, it's pulling her down
into an awful mess if you loved her any less
she would go

I know that she's done this before
with someone else, another place
that must have been the last time
that I saw a smile on her face

she's saving it up, it's pulling her down
she's saving it up, it's pulling her down
into an awful mess if you loved her any less
she would go


if you run away then she'll go there too
she'll be with you 'till the end of the world
and beyond

somewhere beneath her taffeta dress
I think I see a heart shaped scar
somewhere inside her tiny wave
I think I see a tiny star

she's saving it up, it's pulling her down
she's saving it up, it's pulling her down
into an awful mess if you loved her any less
she would go
