lyrics

Why do you want to hurt me so?
A calculated killing blow
Suppose you've a spot saved under my skin
But darling, I won't let you in

And now you're just a ghost in my past
That tank has long been out of gas
Persist if you must, but please place your trust
In letting your place in my heart gather dust

You wouldn't know cause you weren't there
But lately I've been a little worse for wear
Vacant hollow heart scraped clean leaving no trace
Barring the buried weary pain worn on my face

The light at the end of the tunnel grows dimmer
With each passing breath
We had a bright summer but now you've turned cold
And you only bring death
Tonight I'll be a brokenhearted lonely old fool
Sucking down that poison til I aspirate on vomit and drool

Why do you want to hurt me so?
A calculated killing blow
Suppose you've a spot saved under my skin
But darling...
