I used to know this girl
Who gave her love away
To every guy she met

And with all the games they played
She never seemed to cry
She never got upset

And one by one they came
And one by one they left
I thought that I could fix her

If she would let me in
But all of my advances
Were shut down in the end

When days turned into months
I begged her to explain
And this is what she sang


It's not like I'm a !@#%
Or that I really like to $#&@

I just want every boy I see
To walk away with part of me


Until there's nothing left to hold
Until there's nothing left to hate
I appreciate your help

But even you can't save me from myself

I used to know this boy

Who took notes in a book
But he ripped out all the pages
Before I got a look

At all the words he scribbled
At all the lines he filled
But the ink stains on his fingers

Told me he was skilled
At capturing a feeling
That most of us just miss

The simple pain of living
With goodbyes on our lips
I found one of the pages

Crumpled by her bed
And this is how it read


It's not like I am weak
Or that I don't know how to leave
It's just that every time you cheat

You bring me closer to defeat

Until there's nothing left to love

Until there's nothing left to say
I know that you need help
But even I can't save you from yourself
