Lyrics

The following represents the lyrics as they are heard in the song's demo version:

    It's not like I made myself a list 
    Of new and different ways of murdering your heart
    I'm just a painting that's still wet
    If you touch me I'll be smeared, you'll be stained
    Stained for the rest of your life
    
    So turn around walk away before you confuse the way we abuse each other
    You're not afraid of getting hurt
    And I'm not afraid of how much I hurt you
    
    Well aware I'm a danger to myself
    Are you aware I'm a danger to others?
    There's a crack in my soul you thought was a smile
    
    Whatever doesn't kill you is gonna leave a scar
    Whatever doesn't kill you is gonna to leave a scar
    Leave a scar, leave a scar
    Whatever doesn't kill you is gonna to leave a scar
    
    I'm more like a silver bullet
    And I'm like a gun, not easy to hold
    I'm moving fast and if I stay inside your heart
    Assume that this will be the end of your life
    
    So turn around walk away before you confuse the way we abuse each other
    You're not afraid of getting hurt
    And I'm not afraid of how much I hurt you
    
    Well aware I'm a danger to myself
    Are you aware I'm a danger to others?
    There's a crack in my soul you thought was a smile
    
    Whatever doesn't kill you is gonna leave a scar
    Whatever doesn't kill you is gonna to leave a scar
    Leave a scar, leave a scar
    Whatever doesn't kill you is gonna to leave a scar
    
    Should warn you that you may fuck me
    But chances are I'm gonna fuck you over
    Should warn you that you may fuck me
    But chances are I'm gonna fuck you over
    Should warn you that you may fuck me
    But chances are I'm gonna fuck you over
    Should warn you that you may fuck me
    But chances are I'm gonna fuck you over
