The Girl You Throw Away

She sits outside your window
Waiting on the bus
You sent her on her way
'Cuz you knew you'd had enough

You said the words she wanted to hear
For a month or two
You told the girl you loved her
But you knew it wasn't true

You loved her for a minute
But your heart just wasn't in it
There was nothing left to say
She's the girl you throw away

Now she's crying on a park bench
Her heart is on the floor
You used what she gave you 
But you really wanted more

She cooked and cleaned and waited
Whatever you would need
Picked up all your dirty shit
But she couldn't plant the seed

You loved her for a minute
But your heart just wasn't in it
There was nothing left to say
She's the girl you throw away

So you've moved on to the next one
The fresh face in the street
The one you really wanted
The girl you're gonna keep

'Cuz you've already forgotten
The one you threw away
Crying on that park bench
Nope...nothing left to say

You loved me for a minute
But your heart just wasn't in it
There was nothing left to say
I'm the girl you threw away
