Lyrics:
I met a liar who reflected in me but I don’t think they could tell.
I loved a girl who I didn’t deserve so I fucked that up as well.
I haven’t cut a line in 10 long years..it sure does make me think.
I wrote a list of my character flaws..the pen ran out of ink.
I’ve said it all along: “If you love me, then love me to death.”
I’m the noose in the nook.
I’m the bad ending book.
I’m the one that you wish got away before you bit the hook.
I will always learn the hard way.
Compromising those I love.
I’d be fine with hurting myself if it didn’t overflow to them.
If I love you I’ll love you to death!
You’ll feel the weight of my actions.
I wish I couldn’t tell.
In spite of all my discretion I’m poisoning the well.
Well…
I had a girl who was too good for me, she soon would see the same.
Do as I say and never as I do..I’ve put that rule to shame.
I'm the noose in the nook. I'm the bad ending book.
I’m the rush that you get when you want to, but can’t bear to, look.
I will always learn the hard way.
Compromising those I love.
I’d be fine with hurting myself if it didn’t overflow to them.
Learn the hard way.
Those I love.
Compromising everything I am.
Counterproductive and a little destructive.
Selfish like the past 10 years didn’t even happen so I guess I’m learning slow.
Caution when approaching.
Watch for warning signs
I embody every red flag, it gets bad I know.
I know it gets bad.
I’ve said it all along: “If you love me then love me to death.”
