i have a tempestuous nature (and this is what will kill me)

you said i looked pretty that night in your text
before i even opened it my heart jumped out my chest
and fell to the ground getting blood everywhere
im lying here now with blood-stains in my hair

i wanted to speak but it's like i'm trapped in a cage
of awkwardness and stupidity and disdain
and there's so many complications it's all very strange
my friend likes you, one, and two you're not my age
you look like the kind who can get arrested and be fine
and you're just that kind of perfect that breaks hearts like mine

i'm a fragile girl with a corrupted little heart
don't you see? you're gonna tear it all apart
just one kiss sent over through text
and i'm lying here dead with my heart out my chest
