This is the best damn chapter in my life story
Because your not in it
No, you're not in it
It's a perfect kiss at a gorgeous sunset
And it's not with your lips, it's not with your lips
These are the pages where the reader's taken
By a stronger love interest than you'll ever be
Because a love like yours is merely methadone
To tide me over until the real sh** comes along
And you're the ghostwriter
Of the worst damn chapter in my whole life
I need an editor
To erase you and embrace the highlights
Because you sentenced this captain to the plank
And we're going down, going down, going down, going down, going down...
This is the best damn scar on all of my flesh
And you carved it for me
It's the harshest word in my arsenal
And I'm plagiarizing
Because I'm the golden boy of this cursed cityscape
Your broken transmission
Poisoned icing on your wedding cake...
Because a love like yours is just an STD
That only flares up if there's no medicine in me
And you're the ghostwriter
Of the worst damn chapter in my whole life
I need an editor
To erase you and embrace the highlights
Because this bloody ocean's on your hands, and we're going down
going down, going down, going down, going down...
This is the best damn chapter of my life story
Because you're not in it.
