Somehow I wonder if it all was just a waste
A couple years, a hundred memories down the drain
You won't come back, looks like the end now, I'm afraid
I'll say the words that I was too afraid to say
You dish out what you'd never take and throw a tantrum when it comes back - terribly
No need for all the song and dance about the horrid heartbreak you had - deservedly
And even if you caught on fire from the cigarettes that you smoke
You'd still have earned it all.
So break me down and build me up again
Destroy me now just like you do
Hate me now and love me later and it's all alright
You're being you
I despise the way you always tell your
brazen lies as if they're true
Not a bit ashamed or guilty
'Cause you're always right,
It's nothing new.
I'm sure you'd say that you and I are just the same
If that's the case, then I have only you to blame.
That pretty little face of yours can only ever get you so far - shockingly
Without a doubt you're whining how you lost your chance at being a star - you're killing me (LOL)
And like a toy a little girl outgrew in favor of a new doll,
guess I'm no fun at all...
(scarred and seared, there's nothing left of me
your acid burns my skin, but)
Break me down and build me up again
Destroy me now just like you do
Hate me now and love me later and it's all alright
You're being you
... Long as you hate yourself, too--
Didn'tchu say that we'd be friends
until the end? Or so you claimed
I was there for you as promised
Where are you? You're MIA
Just a toxic venom vent song
Words you'll never hear me say
Keep it bottled, keep it locked up,
Keep it secret, it's
okay though
That's just the way we do
This hate song
I'll never sing to you
I promise
this honesty will die
One last thing:
My friend, good riddance and goodbye.
