The Suburbs

I'm gonna romanticize a new life in the suburbs
I'll leave behind my pride and all your lovers
Nothing will hurt
And I won't get worse
I'll be a housewife in the suburbs
In a hearse
I'm getting worse, I'm getting worse
I'm in my pink velvet hearse
I'm getting worse, I'm getting worse
I'm in my pink velvet hearse
Long, long ago, when I loved you
I went too fast, too hard
True love's too hard
I let it go and sold my heart
For the keys to a car
And a brand new yacht
It's sparkling like a diamond
My sadness turns so violent
Prescriptions keep me quiet
God, when'd I get like this?
I'm gonna romanticize a new life in the suburbs
I'll leave behind my pride and all your lovers
Nothing will hurt
And I won't get worse
I'll be a housewife in the suburbs
In a hearse
I'm getting worse, I'm getting worse
I'm in my pink velvet hearse
I'm getting worse, I'm getting worse
I'm in my pink velvet hearse
Alone, I am dying
In regret, remorse, red Marlboros
At home, on the highway
I have nothing anymore
God help me, God save me
All I wanted were some pearls
I never found my piece of heaven

Master Manipulator

Master manipulator, you take it all from me
Master manipulator, you won't let me free
You don't wanna see me glowing
You just take what you can and hold it
Master manipulator, I don't miss your game
Master manipulator, only eyes for the fame
And you taught me how to stay insane
Like there's no way to escape this pain
But I'm falling out
You just take it, take it, take it
Give it up
Let me fake it, fake it, fake it
Wisen up
I'm escaping, 'scaping, 'scaping
Rising up
I'm impatient, 'patient, 'patient
For your love
Blackmail, black nails
You don't ever go to school, but you been to jail
And I
I fell, I fell
'Cause I only love the ones who have been through hell
And it's never served me well
But you fell so hard for darkness
I just wanted you to save
But listening to my heart
Put me in an early grave
So let me be brave
And leave you
You just take it, take it, take it
Give it up
Let me fake it, fake it, fake it
Wisen up
I'm escaping, 'scaping, 'scaping
Rising up
I'm impatient, 'patient, 'patient
For your love
You just take it, take it, take it (I'm on fire)
Give it up (You're a liar)
Let me fake it, fake it, fake it (I'm on fire)
Wisen up (You're a liar)
I'm escaping, 'scaping, 'scaping (I'm on fire)
Rising up (You're a liar)
I'm impatient, 'patient, 'patient (I'm on fire)
For your love

Women

Guilt is a woman
And she's walking on her knees
Grief is a woman, too
But all she does is sleep
Hell is a woman
Who is begging to be freed
Inside of me
Happiness is a woman
Who is lying at your feet
Peace is a woman
That I have yet to meet
Heaven is a woman
With a little bit of each
Will you meet me?
Jealousy is a woman
Who is ugly 'cause she's mean
And hatred is a woman
With a sharpened tongue and teeth
Love is a woman
Who gave up playing for keeps
She's so far from my reach
Women hold the power in their hands
Hidden, forced to suffer at the will of evil men
Softer than a rose and always sweet as saccharine
Women built the world and they will end it all again
Guilt is a woman
And she's walking on her knees
Grief is a woman, too
But all she does is sleep
Hell is a woman
Who is begging to be freed
Inside of me

You

"I have nothing else to say
I love you
Bye"
Baby, I pray for you
Six feet under, I lay for you
Got your same old pride, won't beg for you
What's done is done to you
Love is love is love
Now all we share is hate
Done, it's done, it's done
My heart's a few months late
Baby, please, I beg of you
Look at all I've done for you
Now my heart will end with you
God, it can't be through
Just look at how you broke me
And you don't regret a thing
But you did your best, you promise
That it doesn't bother you
And you look right through the mirror
Go and point out all my cracks
While ignoring all the reasons
My heart was made of glass
Love is love and love is rough
It turns to hate, it's gone
Done, we're done, I'm done
Cause I wasn't the one wrong
You
It was always you
It is always you
Will always be you
