Why Didn’t You Stop Me?

Mitski

Be the Cowboy, 2018, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

I know that I ended it, but
Why won't you chase after me?
You know me better than I do
So why didn't you stop me?
Why didn't you stop me
And paint it over
I look for a picture of you
To keep in my pocket
But I can't seem to find one
Where you look how I remember
Look how I remember
Look how I remember
Paint it over
