“I was the one you always dreamed of
You were the one I tried to draw
How dare you say it's nothin to me?
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw
I'll make the most of all the sadness
You'll be a bitch because you can
You'll try to hit me just hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand

We're goin down
And you can see it, too
We're goin down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear
We're slow dancing in a burning room.”
