well i couldn't stop the burning in my ear
when you told me exactly what i wanted to hear
louder, louder with my mic wrapped round your wrist
(they're just lies, they're just lies)
breathe in and out, come down, come down
breathe in and out, come down, come down
it's all such a blur to her to her to her
and it's all such a blur to this girl
and she just needs some attention
and she just wants some affection
and she just needs some direction
she could use in anything
i've often wondered if my teeth would fit
in those tracks marks stitched in your skin
if they did would you shoot me up?
(she's just a liar, just a liar)
breathe in and out, come down, come down
breathe in and out, come down, come down
it's all such a blur to her to her to her
and it's all such a blur to this girl
and she can't fight this infection
and she's bruised from these injections
and she's left with these inflections
she could use in anything
whisper all your secrets in my microphone
will it keep them? will it keep them?
whisper all your secrets in my microphone
will it keep them? would i keep them?
could you keep them?
whisper all your secrets in your permanent ink
the one that reminds you of me
breathe in more smoke like your lungs are fresh and unsold
collect more needles like a more a reminder of the color you sold
sickly, not sober, quickly, before we see her
sickly, not sober, quickly, before we see her
you got us good, you got us good,
serious like a heart attack
you got us good, you got us good,
sharpened blade right through the back
you got us good, you got us good,
serious like a heart attack
you got us good, you got us good,
but we're getting, getting you back
cuz all your ex best friends say intervention,
all your ex best friends say intervention,
all your ex best friends say intervention,
all your ex best friends say...

oh, you didn't know? (Summer song)
you can say everything you want to,
it won't change a thing
(I'd rather see you win this one)
I'm waiting on those summer rains,
lightning under sunshine
(I'd rather see you win this one)
and you can't change a thing
well let the summer rain wash down on me,
i'll let you wash down on me too
let the summer rain sweep me away all the ways i want you to
well now tell me that you changed for the better
and I'd rather see you win this one
you'll never forget how bad things were
before the weather
I'd rather see you win this one
but you'd rather just forget
well let the summer rain wash down on me,
i'll let you wash down on me too
let the summer rain sweep me away all the ways i want you to
and we've got nothing on these summer storms,
we'll just lay out on the floor
leave the cooler on and listen to the doors
we can melt together, melt together
melt together in the summer storms
i'd rather see you win this one
but you win every time
and i'd rather see you win this one
but you win every time
well let the summer rain wash down on me,
i'll let you wash down on me too
let the summer rain sweep me away all the ways i want you to
it won't change a thing
(I'd rather see you win this one)

bruised or not, you're still cute
we got buzzed the last night we really talked
we made love under stars and everywhere we'd walked
i couldn't think of any other way to say goodbye so i kissed you on the mouth
if i'd have known you'd die that night i would have said everything else
i remember so much life in you
i remember so much breath in you
i remember holding hands with you
when we talked of what we'd do
i thought i'd write you a letter, like i used to
like i saved you, before,
but you wouldn't read it now
instead i'll just sit here, like we used to
as if we could ever save you, before
it's all so stupid on paper
it's fucked up, i fucked up, you fucked up,
but i thought you should know i still mean it when i say
i love you
i remember so much life in you
i remember so much breath in you
i remember holding hands with you
when we talked of what we'd do
we'll have to, we'll have to, we'll have to, i should do.
i want to, i want you, i miss you, we should do...
well without you, without you, without you, i would do...
without you, without you, without you, i could do
you always knew, you always knew, we always do, what we shouldn't do
i'd like to, just tell you, but you're too..... far
remember when we used to dance on the stars?
we'd spend the night on mars?
now you're just covered in scars
now i'm just covered in scars.

part 4: last words
we thought we made it through, we thought we had a chance
we sounded so commanding and without a second glance
we dreamed of this endearing like your last slow dance
but no we're pinned against the wall as bullets fill the air
this was the perfect plan, i said,
this was the perfect-
i stole all your inspiration
and made sure your heart was broken
just because you were right all along
just because i keep writing you songs
we won't hold out much longer
i hope he makes you happy
and i hope this still hurts
but no matter what happens to me
you'll always be in my last words
i stole all your inspiration
and made sure your heart was broken
just because you were right all along
just because i keep writing you songs
the bullets hit the windows first and brought them crashing to the ground
the same way your feet used to hit the ground running back to
footsteps and screams are background melody for the symphony
that is our demise
nobody moves, nobody get any smart ideas
this is your first night here so you've gotta pray
a chorus of shots ring out in the night
nobody moves, nobody make a scene
we'll break you down, burn who you love, shoot you now
i think it's safe to say we're losing this fight
nobody moves, nobody be a hero today
all we're gonna do is make you lonely lonely lonely
i hope this still hurts, but you'll always be my last words
(this was the perfect plan, i said, this was the perfect-)
i hope this still hurts, but you'll always be my last words

part 3: getaways
drive, drive drive and get alone
all you want to be is lonely lonely lonely
you played your part,
every word thrown like a star through my heart
"well at least i taught you to aim well enough," I said,
"at least i know a conviction you've never felt," she said,
it was enough to fool you and bring you to your knees
and break you down, burn who you love, shoot you down
so drive, drive drive and get alone
(sirens and gunshots in rearviews)
all i wanna do is get you lonely lonely lonely
(spike strips in your heels you'll never feel anything again)
we pulled this off and you said we never would
we called all your bluffs because you always said we couldn't
well it's your first night here so you've gotta play
pick up the revolver and pray
she's not a prize but she'll show you
slight (break you down)
of (burn who you love)
hand (shoot you dead)
could you make this jump if i promised i'd catch you?
would you leap to my arms or run like you always do?
(we'll take aim and never feel anything again)
