I'd Rather Stab my Eye Out

Do you know how many times I defended you
Do you know how many times I listened to you
not knowing you were distorting the truth
Do you know how many people I hated for you
Do you know how many secrets I told only to you
not knowing you were telling them to other people too
Do you know everything you fucked up for me?
You were the only man,
I've ever let in
But now
I don't think about you anymore,
I don't wonder how you're doing
or if I'll see you at the store
You're not a picture in my mind
you're just someone who deluded me for a fleeting time
I don't want to know who you are now
I don't wanna know if you're sorry
Cause I'd rather stab my eye out
then look at your sad, sordid life
one more fucking time
Do you know all the people I told,
all the people who couldn't believe that you could do anything unsatisfactory.
Do you know how many people you deceived
we were all just collateral damage for your esurient life
Do you know all the times I shivered when you touched me
Do you know all the words you said that sent a shock down my spine
Do you know I can't trust anyone now,
because you showed off my murkiest memories
like they were ancient illustrations for all your friends to gawk at
But don't worry
I don't think about you anymore,
I don't wonder how you're doing
or if I'll see you at the store
You're not a picture in my mind
you're just someone who deluded me for a fleeting time
I don't want to know who you are now
I don't wanna know if you're sorry
Cause I'd rather stab my eye out
then look at your sad, sordid life
one more fucking time
You are five years my elder
and that doesn't matter
but why was I stuck cleaning up your life
You committed the deadliest sin
you convinced me to let you in
then you rode your little high horse
all the way over to her door
and now your nineteen
convincing a freshman in high school
that you're different then the men who prey on little kids
Just so you know,
theres nothing different about you,
you treat them like your prey,
until the day,
that they get too old and wise
to fall for one more lie
But don't worry
I don't think about you anymore,
you don't haunt my dreams like you used to
I don't wonder how you're doing
or if I'll see you at the store
You're not a picture in my mind
you're just someone who deluded me for a fleeting time
I don't want to know who you are now
I don't wanna know if you're sorry
Cause I'd rather stab my eye out
then look at your sad, sordid life
one more fucking time
but don't you worry
I'll be here,
you haven't seen the last of me
not yet
I'll show up when you're cold and dead
to throw dirt on your grave one more time
And they'll all think
I'm there to pay my respects
but little do they know
I just wanted to see for myself
that the wolf in sheep's clothing
the monster from under my bed
was dead
