You weren’t the first boy I said “I love you” to and you won’t be the last
“Goodness gracious let’s just break up”
I don’t deny it though
“I tried to save us”
You held a place in my cold heart of hearts
“So why do I cry to sleep”
I thought you were different
“Every time you try to leave”
I thought we were different
“Goodness gracious this relationship is filled with so much hatred”
But don’t worry
“I guess you were right”
The things you say about me can’t be worse than the things I think about myself
“My straitjacket’s custom-made though”
