lyrics

Violently, you're burning my throat
Killing me and it's all my fault
But I take another toke

I breathe ash into the air
I try not to care
But I can smell you all over my hair

But I think you'll prefer the idea of me
Than the thought of holding tight
And sometimes I think you're playing with me
But you'll stay in my head at night

Maybe I'm stupid, maybe I'm dumb
Maybe I'm the only one who sees you to get hurt
They ask me why I still see her.
I feel like masochist. I feel like a masochist.

Sudden trembles, withdrawal comes.
Tired head and beaten gums.
See what I've become

Broken voice and skinny pride.
My darling self lying by my side
And I'm trying to believe that he hasn't died

But I think you'll prefer the idea of me
Than the thought of holding tight
And sometimes I think you're playing with me
But you'll stay in my head at night

Maybe I'm stupid, maybe I'm dumb
Maybe I'm the only one who sees you to get hurt
They ask me why I still see her.
I feel like masochist. I feel like a masochist.

Bruising my lungs
Burning my hand
I try to stay strong
I try to stand up

But I think you'll prefer the idea of me
Than the thought of holding tight
And sometimes I think you're playing with me
But you'll stay in my head at night

And I'm done waking up with the thought of you
At 3am each night
And I'm done going to sleep with a scar from you
'Cause you're all that's in my sight

Maybe I'm stupid, maybe I'm dumb
Maybe I'm the only one who sees you to get hurt
They ask me why I still see her.
Maybe I'm stupid, maybe I'm dumb
Maybe I'm the only one who sees you to get hurt
They ask me why I still see her.

I feel like masochist. I feel like a masochist.
