lyrics

I’m pulling out my hair
Now you’re fucking everywhere
Wish I didn’t care
Hiding behind blank stares
(Hiding behind blank stares)
They say that it takes time
But my heart still isn’t mine
Now your halo’s bloodstained
Just tell me I’ll be fine
(Tell me I’ll be fine)

Now you’re gone
And you’re never coming back
But what you left for me
Is never gonna leave
Gonna take it to the grave
And you know
These eyes will never close
(Call the florist,
Dirty the shovel)

Thanks to you
I will never be the same
And all your love
Will have been in vain

Another lonely dinner
For a washed up winner
You’re a seven-digit figure
With a faulty signature
(Faulty fucking signature)
The dead eyes of a doll
I’ve been trapped inside her walls
Now I’ve come to take it all
And I’m gonna take it all

Now you’re gone
And you’re never coming back
But what you left for me
Is never gonna leave
Gonna take it to the grave
And you know
These eyes will never close
(Call the florist,
Dirty the shovel)

You were the callous of my heel
You were the pain I could never feel
You were the fallacy of thinking
The ship that’s always sinking
You were a black iron fence
Keeping in all that was left
Fingerprints like a trail of gasoline
You got a ribcage but nothing in between

Honey, you left my heart
In pieces on the floor
So tell me, why shouldn’t I
Break something of yours?

Dirty the shovel
This is the six-foot fall
Call the florist
(We’re gonna need some décor)
‘Cause I’m here to take it all
