Shutter Island Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The goodbyes are getting old
Next time, you can go ahead and go
I'm tired of begging you to love me
(Arguments and fighting and shit)

[Pre-Chorus]
Goodness gracious, you're amazing
According to you, I'm a lucky lady (Wait)
So why'd you lie to me? (Huh?)
Why do I cry to sleep? (Huh?)
Goodness gracious, I'm replaceable (Yeah)
You say that I'm too crazy (Yeah)
I guess you were right (Yeah)
I guess you were right

[Chorus]
My straitjacket's custom-made though
(With fucking diamonds)
My straitjacket's custom-made though
(With fucking rubies)
Yeah, I'm crazy just like Galileo (I'd rather be that than boring, bitch)
My straitjacket's custom-made though
(With diamonds)

[Verse 2]
You keep hitting, I've been bruised
Holyfield, I can't hear you (Hmm-hmm)
I'm tired of begging you to love me
You're expecting me to say
Loco, please, please stay
I'm tired of begging you to love me
(Arguments, of course you'd stay)

[Pre-Chorus]
Goodness gracious, you're amazing
According to you, I'm a lucky lady
So why do I cry to sleep? (Why?)
Why'd you lie to me? (Why?)
Goodness gracious, I'm replaceable (Yeah)
You say that I'm too crazy
I guess you were right (Crazy)
I guess you were right

[Chorus]
My straitjacket's custom-made though
(With fucking diamonds)
My straitjacket's custom-made though
(With fucking rubies)
Yeah, I'm crazy just like Galileo
My straitjacket's custom-made though
(With diamonds)

[Bridge]
For a second I forgot I was a bad bitch
Begging you to stay became a habit
I'm tired of begging you to love me
I know I can be better, needed practice
I know I can be bitter, but the fact is
I'm tired of begging you to love me

[Outro]
Goodness gracious, let's just break up
I tried everything to save us
So why do I cry to sleep (Huh?)
Every time you try to leave? (Huh?)
Goodness gracious, this relationship
Is full of so much hatred
I guess you were right
I guess you were right
