I've walked all around the city All the places you and I went This is not bittersweet It is thoroughly tainted I could try to reclaim it For me and future loves But my mechanism's broken I'll never clean enough I am a firecracker disguised as a girl I am self-hating predator Yet for every song of Trouble that I sing There is new prey waiting in the wings You know I'd choose death if it weren't so permanent I've never been good at commitment I could run away but I'd never escape My id, my need, this waste I walk all around the city To survey the damage I have done Broken hearts on every street corner And yours is the loudest one Still I'll stay here in the city If just to assert my right I won't give up these willing victims Not without a fight I am a firecracker disguised as a girl I am self-hating predator Yet for every song of Trouble that I sing There is new prey waiting in the wings You know I'd choose death if it weren't so permanent I've never been good at commitment I could run away but I'd never escape My id, my need, this waste
