She Wants Revenge

...Then take it! [Goth, Darkwave]

*** These two words [instrumental]


*** This is the end

Running like a dog never making connections,
keep your story straight if they question you,
try to separate the feeling from the truth.
You're pulled in many directions, it's never a gamble.
Low risk low reward love is all you need.
But did you think that you could walk away so clean?
Yet you're staring at another strange ceiling again,
though you swore you'd stay home and read,
wondering when it is alright to leave, so you just get dressed.
The door shuts behind you, the sun rears its head,
you race to your car through the cold morning dew,
slightly annoyed and confused - she didn't seem to mind,
you didn't spend the night.

[Chorus]
This is the end,
though I saw it coming before we went to bed,
no I never could be the one for you.
This is the end,
thought I saw it coming before we started and
no one's going to be broken-hearted here.

Staring straight ahead and never looking for answers,
dumb yourself down it's a great disguise.
Try to separate omissions from the lies.
With low expectations then nobody's letdown,
no long talks and no breakdowns in the way.
But isn't that what makes it worthwhile anyway?
Now you're pressed against somebody who you don't even like,
though they're cute and they'll pass the time,
kissing around their neck and not their mouth,
so they don't look in your eyes.
You lie down exhausted and riddled with doubt,
then wait 'til they're sleeping and sneak towards the door,
careful not to make a noise across the creaky wood floors...
They're not as cold as yours.

[Chorus x3]

*** She Will Always Be A Broken Girl

She buys a new dress for the party,
she always looks good in red.
Turns around in front of the mirror
and disappears inside of her head.
She wonders if he'll even remember,
she asked him in a casual way.
Just in case he didn't want to go with her,
in that event she knew just what she would say.

She thought of maybe asking a girlfriend,
even though she only has one or two.
She's always done much better with boys anyway,
so who needs girlfriends?
Pacing nervous across the floor of her bedroom,
gripping tight the phone in her hand.
Fighting back the rush of emotions,
and dreaming of just having a man..

[Chorus]
It's a long walk,
and the music is loud.
She sees an old friend,
and she walks through the crowd.
Puts on her best smile,
but underneath it she's a broken girl.
But it's a long walk,
and the music is loud.
She sees an old friend,
as she walks through the crowd.
Puts on her best smile,
but she will always be a broken girl.

She struggles with an awful decision,
stay at home or walk in alone.
Her mother does her best to console her,
her father doesn't know what to say.

Puts on her makeup,
puts on the new dress.
Holds her head high then gets in the car.
Tells herself that no one will notice,
assuming she can make it that far.

On the way she imagines reactions.
Cupped hands whispering into ears.
Secretly hoping that he'll be there watching,
and she's also hoping he won't.

Walking tentative alone up the driveway,
sees some people smoking off to the side.
She stops and waits until they go back in,
crosses her fingers and follows behind.

[Chorus]

He'll never get you, he will never understand
He'll never get you, you can find a better man [x8]

This might be the time to break down [x5]

Hush child, don't make a sound.

*** Love Me [instrumental]
