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.
