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

Mom disclaimer: Your lyrics are hard to read sometimes. I want to figure out how they relate to you personally. I know you've said they often aren't about you, but about other people or just various emotions/ideas in general. I have to keep reminding myself of that so I don't go crazy. *laugh*

My question about this one: I remember last fallish you listening to a song with a similar theme. I can't remember the name of the band or song. Do you know what I'm talking about? And is this kind of your version of that same idea?
