"Thanks to the locals
I ran away from you to Lake Arrowhead
I didn't tell you where I was going
I knew I had a 24 hour grace period before you were done making
your film
I went to an aa meeting
And my share read like a tale of a battered housewife
I felt everyone's eyes on me
The rehab kids in the back row stopped throwing spitballs at
each other and stared at me
I fucking hate my life.
I waited after the meeting in the parking lot for any of the
local ladies
to come up to me
Only one did, Kira.
"I don't really have much advice for you" she said
I was in over my head out of my league
In the wrong place wrong season wrong time wrong face and I knew it
But I didn't know what to do
You asked me to marry you
You said your mother was dying and you couldn't fathom your life without a woman in it.
I was tempted but it didn't seem like a good enough offer
I wanted more than that even though I've never had anything.
Not one person to call if I changed my dollar in for quarters to ask what they thought about it.
But there's always been just a little tiny piece of me inside the size of a small slice of angel cake that knew
somewhere somehow
That I deserved better than someone like you.
never call crumpled up
my little yellow pamphlet with the dambers on it that I would
So I got back into my truck in the dark
Kira with her local area code and gratefully also her" -LANA DEL REY
