Heart-Breaker

You snuck behind me
Stabbed me in the back
Stole my heart out of my chest and broke it
Then ran away with the pieces.

You're a
Terrible horrible awful
Heart-breaker
And now I need a
Life-saver

I'm drowning in a sea
Of my own inequity
'Cause I know I'll never be like you
I know I'll never be good enough,

Don't they say that opposites attract?
I'd do anything for you to take me back
I'd commit a dozen felonies if
It would make you love me...

I know we're hopeless, I know you don't care
But maybe there are still feelings
Lurking somewhere?

Love dulls pain
But it also sharpens the knife
Of longing
If I had never met you
What would I turn to
When I needed something to attack myself with?
