Cowboys
Charlotte Lawrence Lyrics

Razorblade fingertips
Her lover's touch is sharp and potentially dangerous

Name engraved on my lips
She is constantly thinking about her lover and can't get him out of her mind

You're so mine
She feels possessive over her lover and wants to keep him all to herself

But I'm holding onto nothing
Despite her possessiveness, she feels like she has nothing to hold onto in their relationship

Where's your mind wandering?
She senses that her lover's attention is not fully on her and wonders where his thoughts are going

Never stay, never leave
Their relationship is unstable, with both of them never fully committing or leaving

Justify that I always want the wrong thing
She questions why she always wants things that are not good for her, including her unstable relationship with her lover

Take a piece of me with you my love
She wants her lover to remember her and take a part of her with him wherever he goes

I'd like to think you gave me just enough
She hopes that her lover has given her enough love to sustain her, but she isn't completely sure

But it's different in the morning
Her feelings change once the night is over and she begins to second-guess the authenticity of their love

Bottled up emotions
She is keeping her emotions inside, not expressing how she truly feels

Whiskey by the pint
She is drinking to numb her pain and escape from her emotions

Tears could fill an ocean
She is crying so much that it feels like she could create an entire ocean with her tears

Why you gotta be that guy?
She is frustrated with her lover's behavior and the way he treats her

You could be an angel, 'Cause all you do is fly
She sees her lover as someone who could be good, but instead, he runs away from her and never fully commits

Loving you is made up
She feels like her love for him isn't real or authentic because of their unstable relationship

I wonder where you are at night, ooh oh
She is constantly worrying about her lover and his whereabouts

Where do all the cowboys run?
She is questioning where men like her lover go when they run away from their problems

Smoke ring stained silhouette
She sees her lover's shadow as he smokes, a physical representation of his fleeting existence in her life

Sharing your cigarette
She is physically close to her lover, but emotionally distant

She's so fine, But I know that she means nothing
She sees her lover with another woman who she thinks is attractive, yet she knows that it doesn't mean anything to him

If I could change you, I wouldn't change you
Despite his flaws, she still loves her lover and wouldn't want him to be anyone else

'Cause I don't want to love
She feels conflicted about her feelings for him and doesn't want to love someone who won't love her back

You lost me
She realizes that she doesn't want to be with someone who can't commit to their relationship

I hope you're safe in that lonely place
Although she is hurt by the breakup, she still cares for her lover's well-being

'Cause you don't know how to love
She sees her lover as someone who is incapable of truly loving someone else
