I met a liar who reflected in me
I don't think they could tell
I loved a girl who I didn't deserve
So I fucked that up as well
I haven't cut a line in ten long years
Sure does make me think
I wrote a list of my character flaws
Pen ran out of ink

I've said it all along
If you love me, then love me to death

I'm the noose in the nook
I'm the bad ending book
I'm the one that you wish got away
Before you bit the hook

I will always learn the hard way
Compromising those I love
I'd be fine with hurting myself
If it didn't overflow to them

If I love you, I'll love you to death

You'll feel the weight of my actions
I wish I couldn't tell, tell
In spite of all my discretion
I'm poisoning the well, well

I had a girl who was too good for me
She soon would see the same
Do as I say and never as I do
I've put that rule to shame

I'm the noose in the nook
I'm the bad ending book
I'm the rush that you get when you want to
But can't bear to look

I will always learn the hard way
Compromising those I love
I'd be fine with hurting myself
If it didn't overflow to them
Learn the hard way
Those I love
Compromising everything I am

Counterproductive and a little destructive
Selfish, like the past ten years didn't even happen
So, I guess I'm learning slow

Caution when approaching
Watch for warning signs
I embody every red flag
It gets bad, I know
Yeah, I know it gets bad
I've said it all along
If you love me, then love me to death
