Transcript

I cried rivers for you, and I'll just fill it down. Burn bridges for you, just because you hated looking down, held up the mirror for you. One too many times, but even then couldn't comprehend. That maybe I was bright and now I'm really gone. You've lost me now for good, but I know that it doesn't hurt you half the way that it good. I wanna show you how bad it fucking feels. Revenge would be my favorite drug, an easy pill. I could break your heart like you broke mine. Fuck your friends and make you cry. I wanna be as stupid as you. Differences No way more to lose. I could take your keys, crash your car, ruin your life. It wouldn't be hard. I wanna be as stupid as that. But I'm gonna be the bigger man.
