Anna Waronker - Fortunes Of Misfortune Lyrics

We were just girls
When we looked into each other's eyes
We owned the world
We didn't know we'd have to die for it
You knew I'd have to quit
And I knew I'd never see you again

We were just girls
When we kissed each other's lips
We didn't know that it meant something
More to me and to you
You had to go when I told you no
And I knew I'd never see you again

We were not friends
It was different than that
We had a love 'til the end
That was beautiful and dying
Who could have told?
The fortunes of the misfortunes we would hold?
And I never thought that we would grow old together

You wanted to be beautiful
You thought you were a star
And now that everything has disappeared
You are who you are

We were just girls
And we never understood
That this is the world
Where things are rarely rarely good
And I knew you'd have to go
The moment that I told you no
And I knew I'd never see you again
I'd never see you again, ever again

You wanted to be a big big star
Now you are who you are
You wanted to be a big big star
Now you are who you are
You wanted to be a big big star
Now you are who you are
You wanted to be a big big star
Now you are who you are
