Storybook Romances are for Puppets and Villains

Prove me right
That when you say
I love you
You mean only if I put out
I don't want your kind of love
This dirty brand
Scarring me from the inside

The gum on the bottom of your shoe
Is the same grime that holds your soul together
But the lights only get brighter where you're headed
And the brightest light holds your demise

Rusty metal nails pierce your heart
But still don't reach the core
You don't even realize
Don't even realize
Your letterman jacket doesn't hold stock
In the real world
The girls don't go for the jock
So tell me why
The villain always gets the good girl
And the good boys always get stepped on
