Tell me a story where two lovers
Could stick together without killing each other
I'm thinking I'm not a game to be played
And if it took all the saints in heaven to wash the dirt out of you
I'm thinking it wasn't a honest mistake
You're not like him, you break all the rules
When you keep telling me that my reactions are cute
And when I open up my heart and try to set myself free
You turn your own desires in a mockery of me
I love you, I love you
I love you, I'm lying
You were so bad that you don't
Get points for trying
I was just a kid, a lost cause
I didn't know what I wanted
You believed yourself a ghost
And I the house that was haunted
You know, me acting that way didn't mean
I was being timid, shy, childish or pristine
It only means there's a ninety percent chance I don't want you
And I know this is sad, yes, not for me but for you
I don't need to loosen up, damn you
I'm not a gift to unwrap
And if you try to call me I will never call you back
And I had to watch as you made your pedestal
From which you tore apart my trauma fueled walls
I love you, I love you
I love you, I'm lying
You were so bad that you don't
Get points for trying
I was just a kid, a lost cause
I didn't know what I wanted
You believed yourself a ghost
And I the one that was haunted
I had to listen to endless conversations about you
And then I had to watch you have fun storming my castle
I might be a prude but have fun finding something that lasts, though
I love you, I love you
I love you, I'm lying
You were so bad that you don't
Get points for trying
I was just a kid, a lost cause
I didn't know what I wanted
You believed yourself a ghost
And I the one that was haunted
