Now I do as I please,
And I lie through my teeth,
Someone might get hurt,
But it won’t be me,
I should probably feel cheap,
But I just feel free,
And a little bit empty.
So give me black lights,
So give me hot knives,
On a dance floor no one tells time,
So I’ve made love,
Yea I’ve been fucked,
So what?
Im a cartoon,
You’re a full moon,
Let’s stay up.
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a lonely soul,
And the last admit that I need a hand to hold.
The truth is, I need help,
But I just can’t imagine who I’d be,
If I was happy.
It’s just another classic case,
Of right person at the wrong time.
You left me with a wreck inside my head,
Bloody knuckles, and a note that read,
“You should’ve loved someone else instead,”
I should’ve loved someone else instead.
I don’t wanna to go back to where I’ve been,
So fuck it all,
I’m gonna take it back to what I know,
I don’t wanna go,
So what’s the antidote,
So fuck it all.
Cause I fucking need you,
Like air to fucking breathe,
Just to hold you,
Oh, how I hold you down.
Down with my insecurities,
Down with my hypocrisy,
Down with my pathetic pleas,
Down instead of setting you free.
You be the flowers,
I’ll be the rain,
I’ll be the reason you’re running away,
If you be the reason that I want to stay.
Baby I’m bad,
And you knew this from the start.
Look at your face and forget what to say,
Tear the walls down hiding your heart.
I’m kinda over acting the shit you like,
Is so original and cool,
I’m kinda over getting fucked in the ass,
By shit that fucked up your past,
Which by the way I didn’t do,
I didn’t do.
I’ll suffer endlessly,
Until the day I die with no relief,
Push my family away,
So when I’m gone no one will grief,
And they’ll say “he’s in a better place,”
Knowing damn well I’m in hell,
For all the sins that I’ve committed,
And the things I did not tell.
Well, I woke up in a car,
I traced away the fog,
So I could see the Mississippi on her knees.
I’ve never been so lost,
I’ve never felt so at home,
Please write my folks,
And throw away my keys.
