Baby boy you're no good for me
Mixed signals sinking ships at sea
I was an island but I was not free
Until you came to liberate my body
Who's going to paint my eyes black and blue
Or put on some blush to cover up my bruise
Who will smudge the red from my lips
And tell me I'm pretty when I look like shit
Who's going to build me up with their words
And tell me "I love you so much that it hurts"
Who will I call my Valentine
Who will you be fucking instead of (fucking) me tonight
I'm not a fighter but I have to play the part
They’ll wear you out if they see your heart on your sleeve
I'm sure its hard when you're not sure who you are
Or you're too afraid to be who you want to be
Baby boy/girl I hate to see you struggling
If it’s a choice then why not choose to leave
We made this bed with empty promises
So hollow my thoughts echo endlessly
We grow and grow and grow
While we sleep safe and sound in our tomb
I'm just bones in a box
You're a key without a lock
Tell me what use are you
