This Song Is Meant To Hurt You
You know, a lot of girls be
Thinkin' my songs are about them, but
This is not to get confused
This one's for you
I once knew a girl who was like no other
Who liked boys and the stooges as much as we liked fucking each other
But it couldn't work
We loved another
Yeah it was bad
We were in love with the same other
We belonged to a girl who spoke in aphorism
Skilled in deployment of a disarming sophism
She altered life for me has refracted through a prism
Call it lovе, call it trust, call it cassette rock hypnotism
Months have passеd by but there's still no order
I'm left alone now with this phantom limb disorder
Always have to listen what's she put in her recorder
Salt my wounds when I shoulda just ignored her
I'm left now with a distrust of all beautiful things
I'm left now with a distrust of anyone who sings
About embarrassing sex, drugstore treks, or suffering the slings
Of outrageous divulgences used as water wings
Yeah just save yourself from drowning
That's what matters, right?
Profess your love for mankind if it helps you sleep at night
You always hurt the one you love, so don't
Don't tell her how you feel, let it turn into a fight
Let it fester, let it mold, I'll just do what I'm told
I think we can agree that the shtick has gotten old
Oh fuck, here she comes now
(I better not make eye contact
I didn't wanna do this
You know you can turn off the song now
You can turn off the song now)
You're such a fucking hypocrite
You're such a hypocrite
For fucking with other people's heads
Withholding things to be said
Making their veins pulse with dread
Making them wish they were dead
I never wanted to write a song that really hurt you
But she told me and you have no shame and
Two can play at this game so let me sink down to your level
Let me discard my sympathy for the devil and
Let's have out little contest of who can make the other feel worse
Let's see just how far we can take it I've got one foot in the hearse
I can spit and cry better than you ever could
I can make myself feel worse than you ever would
I can flagellate myself harder than you could ever bear
I can watch everything I love vanish in thin air
I can write better songs than you ever will
And you can write better songs than I ever will
Does it hurt yet?
Tell me, does it?
Can you taste it?
Blood in my spit?
Take advantage of my trust but
I wanna see you cry
Cry
I wish I never fucked you
I wish I never loved you
(We were three of a kind, yeah
More than we ever could have guessed)
I wish I never kissed you
I wish I never missed you
(The time you've spent in my mind
Is time I'll never get back)
I wish I never knew you
I wish I could be through with you
(Tell me, tell me does a false naivete
Make up for pain inflicted?)
I wish I never trusted you
I wish I never brushed into you
We were two of a kind, yeah, more than we could have ever guessed (We were two of a kind, yeah, more than we could have ever guessed)
I am so scared of you
I'm so terrified of you
I am so scared of you
I am terrified of you
I am so scared of you
I am terrified of you
(One of a kind, yeah)
