Hey mister.

You’ve torn me apart.

You shredded my heart and let me bleed.

The ruby red drops you sucked up like the elixir of life.

You’ve torn me apart.

I cry tears of blood where the wounds won’t heal.

The ruby red drops you sucked up like the elixir of life.

Now only the shell of me remains; dried and crinkled; devoid of life.

I cry tears of blood where the wounds won’t heal.

My heart still aches for your poisonous love, though my mind is crystal clear.

Now only the shell of me remains; dried and crinkled; devoid of life.

If only I had known who you really were; maybe I could have spared myself.

My heart still aches for your poisonous love, though my mind is crystal clear.

You shredded my heart and let me bleed.

If only I had known who you really were; maybe I could have spared myself.

Hey mister.
