lyrics

BAND-AID
(EMMA JOY HANLEY)

VERSE 1
Don't just call me when she's gone
If that's how you're gonna be
Then I'd rather be alone
Nobody wants to feel like a backup plan
I've got my pride
And it's wrapped up in gold

VERSE 2
I should memorize a step-by-step scenario
To leave on my voicemail
Just for your number
I, I've gotta follow through
With the sense in my heart
And you return to the fate of your scars

CHORUS
No, this body is not your band-aid
I believe you can find those at the store
They can twist and bend to your heart's content
But my body is not your band-aid

VERSE 3
I used to beam and blush like a school girl
Whenever you'd embellish the sound of my name
I'd prize our photograph like the paparazzi
And wish on a star
I could be your best date

CHORUS
But now this body is not your band-aid
I believe you can find those at the store
They can twist and bend to your heart's content
But my body is not your band-aid

BRIDGE
No more bandages
I steadied my knees
She leaves in a hurry
The way snow melts in the Spring
Your casuality I'm not burning to see

CHORUS
No, this body is not your band-aid
I believe you can find those at the store
They can twist and bend to your heart's content
But my body is not your band-aid
No, my body is not your band-aid
No, my body is not your band-aid
