Breakneck speeds
And breakneck lives
And break breakneck choices in the night

You've got two black eyes
And bruised up thighs
He said, "I can fight if you can fight!"

You know, I would be alright if I could make you mine
Knees can fix your brain if you just give it time
We can take it slow, or we can take it fast
Either way, I know that this will never last

Fuck you, then you fucked me and ruined everything
I felt trapped in our home, so I ran away
Your soul looks so pretty on the outside
But on the inside, oh, on the inside

Missed you, missed you
He asked, "Can I kiss you?"
Love will always end in pain
So please go get your tissues

Missed me, missed me
I know that you hate me
Maybe he will love me
If I let you berate me

Missed you, missed you
He asked, "Can I kiss you?"
Love will always end in pain
So please go get your tissues

Missed me, missed me
I know that you hate me
Maybe he will love you
If I let you berate me

La da la la la la da
La da da da
La da la la la la da
La da da da
La da la la la la da
La da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da

La da la la la la da
La da da da
La da la la la la da
La da da da
La da la la la la da
La da da da
La da da da da da
Da da da da

Can I please stay for a glass of wine
Can I keep this book out if I pay the fine
Her body gets weaker with the passing time
She said, "I can see my mom as she died."

I miss you so much that it fucking hurts
It's like I got barbed wire in my chest coming through my shirt
And when I hold someone, it goes from my chest into theirs
Their heart, their mind, their dreams, her mind
Alright, alright

10 years ago, I took you home
The poem that I wrote, you couldn't leave my throat
Regret the day you walked away, sorry
I'm late, be brave for me, drink up with me

Smoke up with me, shoot up with me, looks up to me
Wild and free, feels meant to be
You know there's towns to see
And snakes in trees
With shaky knees
The ugly duckling drowned inside the stream

La da la la la la da
La da da da
La da la la la la da
La da da da
La da la la la la da
La da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da

La da la la la la da
La da da da
La da la la la la da
La da da da
La da la la la la da
La da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da

Fuck
