Measure my worth in
lip gloss and eye liner
and I'll tell the story
of 77 seconds
one second for every 'I love you'
that meant nothing instead
can't get your fucking voice out of my head
why am I the only one crying
with empty revolver in hand
shoved in my mouth with pain and regret
these bullets made of nightmares
of this very day
silence is worth leaving for
when you can't listen without rage
can't even listen to my own soul
our song is played on every radio
pierced by the very hymn we used to share
feel my heart break until I can't bare
I design a dream like state
just so I can try and forget
I know you're screaming 'checkmate'
here comes your birthday 'bonne fete'
but even your fucking scent still remains
left on the bedding in which we used to lay
remember how I sat through all the pain
remember how you didn't have to repay
now look out to the streets
where whispers still linger
the fire in my heart still strong
but my feeble body lays weaker
longing for your addictive touch
I can't help but pretend
so many girls took the burden
so many now have their own hearts left to mend
I sat down and wrote for the first time in months
and all I could see was a picture of us
torn on the floor like a piece of trash
I swear to you bitch I'll kick your ass
You loved to hate, and hate loved me
now say hello to the thing you helped make
you created a monster
who won't ever see
the love intended for hearts to keep
deep within the chambers of the soul
goodnight my love, remember this toll
what do you think?
