She said (many things to take note of, but the most recent) those cuts really aren’t that deep1
My scars (from past romances) vs. what she’d like to call excuses (so called, former ex-exhibitionism at its best)2
I said yeah, I know (not going) for deep3
I’m just trying4
To prevent (stalling for time) before this obvious break up5
And then we’ll all just fall6
I’m running out of words to say to him7
Let’s just get this over with8
Prevent the media’s spread of panic9
Clever teenager’s poetry wouldn’t save what has to be said10
(To bad)11
And just so we’re clear these aren’t tear stains on my sweater12
Just to make it clear13
You aren’t worth14
What it’d take to say what has to be15
And you’d think (with the bazillion words) you said, ‘I’m sorry’ would’ve made the list16
I guess the uselessness of me17
Will always be (right here) a corpse, death by heartbreak18
Words, (you’re weapons) and the body count (increasing at a steady pace)19
City lights will always burn the back of your head20
(speaking of) and all we can do (yeah, it’s come to this) is really21
Just stall, before the rest is forgotten22
And all we (god, this is come down to nothing before the rest) is just fuckin stall, and that’s all…23
…a thousand clever teenagers wrote this song…24
…and as they burn…25
…they never really could’ve express26
…and as they burn…27
…the only words needed for ‘goodbye’…28
…and as they burn…29
…FUCK YOU… 30
…you’re only making this soooooo much worse…31
Where is your boy tonight? I hope he's a gentleman, maybe he won't find out what I know, you were the last good thing about this part of town...
