lyrics

You pulled up outside,
half-expecting everything would be alright.
But I’m tired to death
of guessing what’s on your mind, this time.
Tired and lonely with no one to hold me,
it’s creeping up slowly,
and trying to mold me. 
If only the tears would cease just long enough to breathe.
Breathe.
I bet you told them all it was my fault.
Just to save yourself,
It’s all my fault.
“She’s crazy.” I’m crazy. 
You’re lucky to get out of this one alive.
Well, you’re partly right my dear, 
you’ve got something to fear. 
Vengeance is ugly,
redemption is coming,
I hope you’re ready.
I took your pictures off the wall,
found your letters, burned them all.
Got nothing more to do
but spend my time erasing you, 
and bad memories,
they fade away,
but I’ll not soon forget the day 
you looked at me straight-faced and said,
“Get the hell out of my life”. 
Now you’re screaming out, “LOST BOYS,“
And here they come, crawling.
It makes me sick the way they run when you start calling.
They’ll do your bidding
even if it hurts the people around, 
because you tell them it’s the only way that they’ll be found. 
Are you proud?
Can you sleep in your bed? 
When there’s nothing but lies up inside of your head? 
And you have become the one thing that you dread,
A little Don Jr. with a side of “street cred”.
And your spineless pawns,
they follow mindlessly,
have they forgotten how to speak up?
The way a man should? 
The way a man could,
If he had one ounce of good
(Left right, left right)
That’s right, boys, 
You’ve got to march to the beat of the King of Darkness. 
Cause he always wins,
He always wins.
I took your pictures off the wall,
found your letters,
burned them all. 
Got nothing more to do
but spend my time erasing you,
and bad memories,
they fade away,
but I’ll not soon forget the day
you looked at me straight-faced and said – 
“The smell of you is on my breath, 
just take my hand,
there’s one stop left.
I can’t control this urge
I need you, yeah. 
Oh baby, please just take me back,
I’ve got it all and that’s a fact,
I need you, yeah. (Chorus)
