Lyrics
One If I could, I would nail these hands to the edges of stars I would sacrifice this body to the sky Hoping to resurrect that someone spiteful enough to not care This much, about you Two Staple me to a cross Pierce my side with a broken promise and I will bleed All the reasons why you deserve one more chance Three Loving you is the last thing I felt really good at Four You wanna know how I got these scars? Well, I ripped every last piece of you out of my smile Five I whispered you stardust Six I spoke you into sunflowers Seven I dipped my hands in forever I touched you infinity Treated you as if you were the last molecule of oxygen inside of a gas chamber I was good to you Eight You wanna know how I got these scars? I swallowed my pride Then it clawed its way out of my mouth Nine I realized that I was never really your boyfriend I was your hype-man Ten I hope your next boyfriend gets smallpox Ten Yes I said smallpox Ten I hate you Ten But I still miss you Ten And I still love you Ten And I still love you Ten And I still love you Ten And it's hard for me to count when I get emotional Ten I heard that over ninety I heard that over ninety percent of human interaction is non-verbal so Ten If I could, I would tie your arms to a daydream And then auction you off to my fondest memories To the random dude who started dating my ex-girlfriend two days after we broke up Yes, I saw that shit on Facebook Now, When I realized that you were in a relationship with the girl that I thought I would spend the rest of my life with I walked outside I said to myself "There is no way Ashton Kutcher is gonna catch me off guard." I waited 45 minutes, And then I realized there hasn't been a new episode of Punk'd in four years So I guess I'm the only practical joke in this entire situation One The first time I saw you and her in a picture I wanted to take my entire arm, shove it inside of the computer And snatch the happiness right off of your face Two If I ever see you in the street I might punch you in the throat Three I apologize in advance And I know, that it makes no sense to have this much anger Towards a man that I've never met face-to-face But my definition of love is being robbed in an alley Eight times in a row and hoping there's Something about today that makes all of this different There is nothing logical About cutting off the most important parts of yourself And putting them inside of hands that shake, that tremble That crack like a Haitian sidewalk Four There is nothing rational about love Love stutters when it gets nervous Love trips over its own shoelaces Love is clumsy, and my heart refuses to wear a helmet Five Cupid is fucking irresponsible And I'm tired of him using me for target practice Six I was told that time heals all wounds But what exactly do you do on days When it feels like the hands on your clock have arthritis? Seven She always wore her heart on her sleeve So tell me, why the hell do you look so familiar? Eight I think I've seen you somewhere in her smile Like I've heard your voice in her laughter I bet if we dusted her heart for fingerprints we would only find yours Nine I have this envelope It's full of all the butterflies that I felt the first time She smiled in my direction I think most of them are still alive I guess these belong to you too
