you say i'm PSYCHO cause i'm
not sure where the days will take me
{but to the bottom of your soul}
& so you found me wandering lost
somewhere between your dreams
& that time the voice through the phone line told me:
it's over.
& wouldn't any self.respecting girl
pick her self up & leave behind
the pieces of you
..that i wear around my neck
like so many daggers to my heart,
you are the knife to my chest, now i know
you've gone straight to my veins, so
that's how i explain the wide scar in my left wrist, darling
i wear my eyeliner really dark now
(to be what you always hated), and
skip over the songs i would otherwise listen to,
so don't buy my facade, don't
believe i'm all right- you say
I'm crazy,
yeah, crazy for being taken,
insane for wrapping my soul around
something marked by danger and turmoil..
& i'm
flipping the radio dial,
streaking mascara & bleeding you out,
thinking baby, i was only crazy
for being psycho over someone like you.
