"It's a mystery to me" you said "why you have scars on your arms" &
"It's a mystery to me" I said "why you can't yet see where I come from"

"i wish you would open yourself up and let me in" you said,
so i said "I wish you'd remember not to ask me again"
but I wanted nothing more than for you to know.
you said okay. and it was easy for you to let go.

"There's just something about your smile" you said
"that always makes me return" &
"There's just something about your lighting me up" I said
"you love it. you come back to watch me burn"

Then you smile a second just to make my heart bleed,
"Go cut your wrists" you say "you're just too crazy for me"

baby, i've known that all along
so i'll spare you the farewell song.
