I tried to make a poem out of this song, but I couldn't. The lyrics were too good to be transformed, so here they are: tweaked, like I did to some other songs some months back. This reads kind of like a sequel to my version of Innocent.
Easy come, easy go
That's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all
But you never give.
Should've known you was trouble
What did I miss?
You passed me over,
Why did you pass me over?
I gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash,
You tossed in the trash,
You did.
I never asked for much,
Your love would've been enough,
'Cause what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for you,
Throw my head on a blade for you,
I'd jump in front of a train for you,
You know I'd do anything for you,
And I went through all this pain,
You put a bullet straight through my brain,
But I still would've died for you baby,
And you wouldn't do the same.
Black, black,
Black and blue,
Beat me till I'm numb,
Tell the Devil I said 'hey'
When you go back to where you're from.
Mad man,
Bad man,
That's all you ever were, yeah
You'll smile to my face,
Then massacre my heart.
I gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash,
You did.
I didn't ask for much,
All your love would've been enough,
'Cause what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for you,
Throw my head on a blade for you,
I'd jump in front of a train for you,
You know I'd do anything for you,
And I went through all this pain,
You put a bullet straight through my brain,
But I still would've died for you baby,
And you wouldn't do the same.
You set me on fire,
And you watched me burn down in flames,
You said you loved me,
You're a liar
Because you never, ever did.
But darling, I caught a grenade for you,
Threw my head on a blade for you,
I jumped in front of a train for you,
You knew I did everything for you,
And I went through all this pain,
You put a bullet straight through my brain,
But I still would die for you baby,
And I know you'd never do the same.
