[Verse 1]
Boy don’t speak
Girl don’t talk
It’s all my fault, all my fault
Fallen angels hunt me
Like an animal on the run
[Pre-Chorus]
“Blades and arms bring sharks to warmer waters”
He said to me
But I don’t belong
Is where I belong
Is what’s going on with me
[Chorus]
And I love being alone
Playing with a gun
The blood's on the floor
Head's on the door
And I love being alone
Playing with a gun
The girl's on the run
She’s always on the run
[Verse 2]
Stain my sheets, stain my sheets
I’m thirteen now I’m twenty-three
And you’re my blood
And blood's my love
I draw on myself, draw on myself
[Pre-Chorus]
Switching seats on the Titanic
'Til I'm slowly slipping under
Take my life I waive my rights
Like a star in supernova
[Chorus]
And I love being alone
Playing with a gun
The blood's on the floor
Head's on the door
And I love being alone
Playing with a gun
It’s all your fault, all your fault
And I love being alone
Playing with a gun
The blood's on the floor
Head's on the door
And I love being alone
Playing with a gun
The girl's on the run
She’s always on the run
On the run
[Bridge]
I swear I saw God in a 7-Eleven
If my head's in the oven am I getting to heaven?
He gave me a shot of the Holy Ghost
And suddenly I’m fine
[Pre-Chorus]
We race tonight on the black ice
Crucified on a cell phone tower
Hit me anywhere you want
'Til I’m broken by desire
[Chorus]
And I love being alone
Playing with a gun
The blood's on the floor
Head's on the door
And I love being alone
Playing with a gun
It’s all my fault, all my fault
And I love being alone
Playing with a gun
The blood's on the floor
Head's on the door
And I love being alone
Playing with a gun
The girl's on the run
She’s always on the run
On the run
She’s always on the run
She’s always on the run
