Scumbag
Lyrics
I saw it coming
Like a knife into my stomach
And there ain't no use in running
While she's twisting it
Ran out of patience
Told me I'm both kinds of wasted
Like this, self-deprecation that I'm swimming in
This candle's burning at both ends
I think I'm learning there's a point of no returning
This is it
She says I'm a scumbag
Wants to take her love back
Story of my life
Why am I such an asshole?
Everything is my fault
Happens every time
Why?
Can't even argue
I'm too fucked up, it's too hard to
Smashed my heart in like a cartoon
There's no fixing it (yeah)
But what's the difference between broken love and prison?
She said "Why you never listen?"
'Least I think she did (yeah)
I don't know, I don't know how it got so bad
But it got so bad
I don't know why I make you sad
She says I'm a scumbag
Wants to take her love back
Story of my life
Why am I such an asshole?
Everything is my fault
Happens every time
Why? (ooh, why?)
I know, I know that she hates me
I know, I know that she can't take me
I hope she knows I can't face myself right now
I don't know, I don't know how it got so bad
When it got so bad
I don't know why I make you sad
She says I'm a scumbag
Wants to take her love back
Story of my life
Why am I such an asshole?
Everything is my fault
Happens every time
Why?
I know, I know that she hates me
I know, I know that she can't take me
I know she knows that it breaks me down, down, down
I know, I know that she hates me
I know, I know that she can't take me
I hope she knows I can't face myself right now
