Nasty
Dirty and broken
My soul is no longer mine
Given up to a better life
Dead and buried among the rats
I should have known better
Than to trust you and your lies
But you looked so good
With your big baby eyes
I hung on every word you said
I gave up my world for yours
I should have known better
You ripped my heart out when you said goodbye
Was I not good enough a prize?
I did and gave you everything you wanted
Yet you still treated me like dirt
I can't believe I loved you for so long
I despise myself for letting me be your pawn
I should have known better
I hope you live life to the extreme
I hope you die a slow and painful death
I wish you the worst I can think of
You deserve to be burned at the stake
For you are a thief, a liar, and a whore
I should have known better
To trust you and your lies
