Lyrics:
Sick and tired of things getting tough
Never gonna be enough
Sick and tired of fights starting wars
Never gonna be enough
Say what I want, say what I need
(Sick and tired of things getting tough)
Say what I want, say what I need
Nobody hurts you like me
When did I become that girl?
That girl I see
When did I become that girl?
That girl I see
Getting fed up with the way you love
Never gonna be enough
(Sick and tired of things getting tough)
Say what you saw, say what you heard (Dirt, dirt, dirt)
(Sick and tired of things getting tough)
Say what you felt, say where it hurts
Nobody treats me like dirt (Dirt, dirt, dirt)
When did I become that girl? (That girl)
That girl I see
When did I become that girl? (That girl)
That girl I see
I never wanna be anyone’s enemy
I just want to let myself be the girl that I once was
I never wanna be that girl I see (That girl I see, see, see, see)
When did I fall so far?
Barely recognize me
When do I move on, so I recognize me?
So I recognize me
When did I become that girl?
That girl I see
When did I become that girl? (That girl)
That girl I see
When did I become that girl? (That girl)
That girl I see (That girl)
I never wanna be anyone’s enemy
I just want to let myself be the girl that I once was (That girl)
I never wanna be that girl I see (That girl I see, see, see, see)
(That girl) I never wanna be anyone’s enemy
I just want to let myself be the girl that I once was (That girl)
I never wanna be that girl I see (That girl I see, see, see, see)
Trivia and Quotes:
“When I was writing [Love You to Death], I was dating someone. So when I had dinner the other night, a friend asked, “Is that person weirded out that you wrote all those songs and then you guys broke up?” But I didn’t write about my current situation. I don’t want to be that person who writes about my relationships anymore, but I can write about my relationship to relationships. So with “That Girl,” it was awkward because I was dating someone but then I took two months to go to Palm Springs and write the bulk of this record. I really struggled with that song because it’s dark. It’s me writing about being treated a certain way and accepting that and, therefore, being okay with treating people a certain way. It’s hard at the end of a beautiful day in Palm Springs to be with person you’re dating at cocktail hour, and you’re like, “Oh, would you like to hear this incredibly dark song about me not putting up with bullshit?” It’s a downer. They’re like, “Cool song!” but you can tell they’re thinking, Is that about me? No, it’s about me and how shitty I am in relationships. Yaaay, enjoy your time here! And it was all Sara who got the song recorded and got it to open the album.”- Tegan in 2016
