All I wanted was to hold her, maybe I could even console her, put her head upon my shoulder and we make believe.
That her lies and false alarms are all part of the charm, and this beautiful girl deserves a little mercy.
My beautiful girl, my beautiful world, my beautiful girl ain't doing shit for me. Though she tries so hard, she'll only make it so far, in the end when it's over this is it for me.
Tried to play my part, tried to save your soul...
Finally gave it up when shit got old...
Riding on the cusp when things were gold...
Since then, I heard you found New Highs In Low...
You want them all to believe you? The lies you tell only deceive you!
You ruin everything! you accept none of the blame!
Refuse, Resist They can't change you, anyone who cares just wants to tame you.
Everyone who loves you enslaves, you ain't no one coming to save you!
I'll build her up and she sinks lower, did I really even know her? A little high, a little low, cause that's how she rolls
she relies on her charm, while sticking needles in her arm, cashing someone else's car as she falls asleep.
My beautiful girl, my beautiful world, my beautiful girl ain't doing shit for me. See she tries so hard, to only make it so far, in the end when it's over this is it for me.
Tried to play my part, tried to save your soul...
Finally gave it up when shit got old...
Riding on the cusp when things were gold...
Since then, I heard you found A New High In Low...
You want them all to believe you? The lies you tell only deceive you!
You ruin everything! you accept none of the blame!
Refuse, Resist They can't change you, anyone who cares just wants to tame you.
Everyone who loves you enslaves, you ain't no one coming to save you!
