Pretend you care but ignore my cries
Glare at me then whisper goodbye
Close your eyes and swallow your wine
Be my bloody valentine
Wilt your roses and light my fire
Slap my wrist and call me a liar
Act like you want me to stay
Lead me to nowhere and sneak away
Pull the needles out of my skin
Slip me under and stretch me thin
Send me off then miss my kiss
Pretend to live your life in bliss
Yell at me and make fun of my scars
send me away to a place real far.
Hurry up and make up your mind.
Run ahead and leave me behind.
Fake your laughter, burn your tears
I won’t catch you anymore
Hide away but listen for my whine
When you’re alone, know that I’m fine.
