Maybe I'd be better off naked
Somewhere looking complacent
On the side of the road
And I could fall in love with danger
Instead of faces
That I can't leave alone
Oh, was it a lifelong dream to be dead at seventeen?
I got on my knees
And all he said to me was
Eat your heart out
Let the blood run down your chin
Go on, eat your heart out
You'll be better than you've ever been
I saw the way that you looked at me
When I was drunk and unhappy
But I did it myself
And in a year if I'm still angry
I'll think about you fondly
And I'll ask myself
Oh, was it a lifelong dream to be dead at seventeen?
I got on my knees
And all he said to me was
Eat your heart out
Let the blood run down your chin
Go on, eat your heart out
You'll be better than you've ever been
