I'm being haunted by A girl in a raincoat

I don't know why she cries By my bedpost every night

I don't know why she sighs

When I flush the pills under fluorescent light

I don't know why she tries

I'm haunted by this girl

She stands beside me when I stare off into space

At the bus stop when I'm trynna remember the date

She sits by me when I shake and shake and shake

She fluffs my pillow when In floods, all my mistakes

Oh, girl, you're so transparent

You're watching me like I don't know how to breathe

You're watching me like I'm a fish out of water

You're watching me like I'm an explosive set to go off

At any moment

And girl, is it true

That I do feel so blue?

And girl is it sad

That I'm repressing what we had?

And girl, is it okay If I drink my troubles away away away?

I'm being haunted In my sleep

In my waking moments

She follows me

As if she needs me to breathe

As if she knows what I'm gonna do

When she leaves

Oh, girl, you're so transparent

I don't know why she tries I don't know why she tries
