it's your heart breaking
when they ring the bell
take your seats it's time to crash
into the learning curve of romance and the regrets
that you carry in your lungs
heart cells and brain cells fuse and become one
it's the story of your life
when all you write are little love notes
to no one but yourself

it's the story of my life
the love left behind
for another kind
a kiss so sour that fills the lungs
left in a state of wrists bleeding
writing love songs in an empty journal
filled with naught of broken thoughts
it's the story that fills up all these pages
with the lies and the murder thoughts
plague me with blackness
it's just another story
of another life

you'll cut your wrists to the beat of your favorite song
it's just the way it goes when you
live a life that no one can condone
she hurts
she hurts me more than two can equal four
her love equaled more than any math can calculate
and when she left
when daddy died
it all fell apart
she writes me love notes then crushes them
in the middle of the class room
buckling down under the weight of school
the learning tears away the blood
it flows in my dried out veins

it's the story of my life
the love left behind
for another kind
a kiss so sour that fills the lungs
left in a state of wrists bleeding
writing love songs in an empty journal
filled with naught of broken thoughts
it's the story that fills up all these pages
with the lies and the murder thoughts
plague me with blackness
it's just another story
of another life

it's the story of my life
the love left behind
for another kind
a kiss so sour that fills the lungs
left in a state of wrists bleeding
writing love songs in an empty journal
filled with naught of broken thoughts
it's the story that fills up all these pages
with the lies and the murder thoughts
plague me with blackness
it's just another story
of another life

and jesus help me
when they come to get me
and take me away in the white car
and the lab coats
and pills fill my liver
with all the wrong notes
they take me away
in a crowded room filled to the brim
with greens and blues
don't forget the whites!
don't forget the whites!
