No Love for the Wicked

Welcome to the heartbreakers club

Where you ruin lives

And they all know why

You got a broken heart you can’t return

Made of ice and cigarette burns

Made of decisions you wish were pretend

But now you’re condemned

To a life of owning it

Every day for the rest of your days

So now you’re ten feet tall

And some people breathe in the shadow of trees

But most are just going to try to

change you to something more useful

Like a book or a table

.

Welcome to the heartbreakers club.

They say your love is a drug

But you keep fucking up

Now everyone’s running

Cuz there’s a rumor you got that

Midas touch

And everyone wants to be looked at

But no one wants to pay the price

To be stiff as gold

Shit I’ve been doing that since I was

14 years old

Now everyone looks at me

Everyone loves me

But when they try to remold me

They scream and they cry

Because as hard as they try

You can’t remold gold

Without a little light

They don’t have a little light

.

Welcome to the heartbreakers club

Lay out your lists

Of love you lost

And love that lost you

Of the people who cried 

And the people who threatened to die

List all the people who decided for you

How it was going to be

And when you told them no

They simply couldn’t fathom being happy

And now you’re responsible for all of their tragedies

List all the people who looked you in the eyes

And said that ‘it’s your fault this time

You’re choosing to be sad

You just have to change your pretty mind’

List every time they asked you to be a little less

It would really just be for the best

As if you hadn’t known all along

That you could choose to be yourself

Or choose to belong

And list every time the thought of 

Being someone else

Made your heart choke you in your throat

Made your stomach squeeze inside itself

Made your eyes burn 

Made your fingers tingle

Made your ears ring

Because getting here wasn’t easy
