[Verse 1]
You should have known
Yet unashamed
That there's no way
To save your wasted flower of youth
But you feel the same
In spite of all he did to you
[Chorus]
Sweet heart, cut up face
That I would have died any number of times for
Beat down and beat down
So peculiar, so beloved
[Verse 2]

Be rough on the weak
True love ought not wait but has
The pistol is raised to your lips
The feel of a kiss is gone
Gone as soon as it ends
[Chorus]
Sweet face, busted teeth
That I would have died any number of times with
Slapped around like a clown
So peculiar, so beloved
[Outro]
Hyunhye, dead
Kathleen, dead
Molly, dead
Natasia, dead
Denise, dead
Mylinh, dead
Mimi, dead
Jessica, dead
