You're worried
I'm in love with the feeling

So l'll do the same, love
I'm scared of what l've been tryin'
I'll bite the dust, but l'm still on the pavement

You're worried
I'm in love with the feeling that's dying
You're worried
I'm in love with the feeling
Blacking out often, I'm so obnoxious

Sometimes I feel bad, I make you nauseous
Crawl out your skin and crawl into your coffin
You're the worst, girl, you're just a corpse, girl
