Vampire
Hate to give the satisfactionAsking how you’re doing nowHow’s the castle built off peopleYou pretend to care aboutJust what you wantedLook at you, cool guy, you got it
I see the parties and the diamondsSometimes when i close my eyesSix months of tortureThat you sold as some forbidden paradiseI loved you trulyGotta laugh at the stupidity
Cause i’ve made some real big mistakesBut you make the worst one look fineI should’ve known it was strangeYou only come out at night
I used to think, i was smartBut you made me look so naiveThe way you sold me for partsAs you sunk your teeth into me, ohhBloodsucker, famefuckerBleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire
Every girl i ever talked to told meYou were bad, bad newsYou called them crazy godI hate the way i called them crazy tooYou’re so convincingHow do you lie without flinchingHow do you lie, how do you lie, how do you lie
Ohh, what a mesmerizing, paralyzingFucked up little thrillCan’t figure out just how you do itAnd god knows i never willWent for me and not herCause girls your age know better
I’ve made some real big mistakesBut you make the worst one look fineI should’ve known it was strangeYou only come out at night
I used to think i was smartBut you made me look so naiveThe way you sold me for partsAs you sunk your teeth into me, ohhhBloodsucker, famefuckerBleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire
You said it was true loveBut wouldn’t that be hardYou can’t love anyoneCause that would mean you had a heart
I tried you help you outNow i know that i can’tCause how you think’s the kind of thingI’ll never understand
I’ve made some real big mistakesBut you make the worst one look fineI should’ve known it was strangeYou only come out at night
I used to think i was smartBut you made me look so naiveThe way you sold me for partsAs you sunk your teeth into me, ohBloodsucker, famefuckerBleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire
