Life is a bitch, it's way too short
Unlike a politician it just can't be bought
Think about the tenderness, and think about the craziness
And if you ever wanna hate me come and stick a knife right in my chest
(repeat chorus 2)
(verse)
I said don't tear me up
I said don't tear me up
So don't poison my blood
I don't ever want to see your picture again
