I was just a stupid girl, and a stupid one at that
And you were just the one I went after because of it

You're no fool, baby, it was just me
Me being me, myself, and
I didn't know better, didn't know better,
Oh, yes, I did

I broke my own rules to follow some other game
To play this game with you
I broke my own heart to follow some other shameful, plagiarized story
Where the best boy chances to claim the lowest girl
But you'd never claim me

And I broke down hearts into particles that dissolved into thin air
Just to see if you'd take your chances, let your guard down and fall for me
To see if you'd say I was beautiful with my covered skin and softer tone
My naive spirit and my eager heart
And you said you wanted the skin, the touch, the attention of someone else
Everyone else
Everyone that did all the wrong things, and each one you've turned into a notch into your
Into your
Into my mind
Into your eyes

You were too busy with some other fantasy of sex and drugs and rock and roll
Wrapped in your rock chick girl and your rock god world
But I guess I'm just an acoustic kind of girl

metastasized.

Funny how I'm strung along
'Cause I'm just the opposite of strong
Funny how nobody saw
When I cried out so loud and long

Funny how you swore you'd be there and then you weren't
Funny how I got vulnerable and then got burned
Funny how this support system was the lie I bought

The hands on the clock indicated the darkness
And that's when I lifted arms for your aid
I hope you regret letting me think you're around

And now I remember why I always thought friendship wasn't worth it
Because it isn't


I'm pulled apart, a fibrous existence
With strings and cloth strewn all around
Behold my pieces

It's not just you this is killing
It's metastasized to my essence
