We were doomed from the start,
As lovers are
Why am I doing this?
Digging my own grave
Though it's shallow,
I would lie in it
We're down in the basement,
In the dark,
After we crash your car
Hoping fast that my arrow,
Hits the mark,
So you know who we are

Please keep the reporters at bay
This a matter of life and death,
But I deal with things like this everyday
Please keep the reporters at bay
You never do what I tell you to
You never do what I say

We've been hurting a long time
Trying hard for this
We all have sizeable scars
We got it
You'd break it all apart
We got it
We can make it work like this, like this, like this

Yes we are a bullet
In the heart
And the message sent
Always dragging your feet
Over sand
And over hot cement
Make a list of your favorites
Write it down
Make it legible
A problem we're always facing
We never rest
You either push or pull

Please keep the crowd under control
This is a matter of life and death,
And we're not prepared
I just want you to know
Please keep the crowd under control
This is the weight of my conscience
This is an all time low

We've been hurting a long time
Trying hard for this
We all have sizeable scars
We got it
You'd break it all apart
We got it
We can make it work like this, like this, like this

I see my baby
She's starry eyed
I feel my bones break all the time
I see my baby
She's starry eyed
She follows Don't call me unkind

I see my baby
She's starry eyed
I feel my bones break all the time
I see my baby
She's starry eyed
She follows Don't call me unkind

We've been hurting a long time
Trying hard for this
We all have sizeable scars
We got it
You'd break it all apart
We got it
We can make it work like this, like this, like this

We've been hurting a long time
Trying hard for this
We all have sizeable scars
We got it
You'd break it all apart
We got it
We could make it work like this, like this, like this
