She’s sticking needles in her skin I turn with an ugly grin Her canvas doesn’t leave a lot to fantasy But her peace of mind can’t stay inside the lines It’s so confusing, the methods that she’s using She knows she shouldn’t leave a mark that I can see Will she ever find one million of a kind? It’s cold and lonely, but that’s because she told me Lost inside her dirty world, No one hurts this pretty girl but her Oh, she’s beautiful A little better than a man deserves Oh, I’m not insane Please tell me she won’t change Maybe I should let her go But only when she loves me How can I just let her go Not until she loves me She’s drowning in herself again My God, what a lovely sin I guess there’s nothing left to do, but have my way She can feel it’s right so she doesn’t close her eyes She smiles and answers it doesn’t seem to matter Lost inside my dirty head, something tells me I’m the one who’s kept Oh, so volatile A little better than a man defiled Oh, I need the pain Please tell me she won’t change Maybe I should let her go But only when she loves me How can I just let her go Not until she loves me We were meant to be together Now die and fucking love me We were meant to hurt each other Now die and fucking love me Die and fucking love me Die and fucking love me Die and fucking love me
