[English]

Put that nail in the coffin over the word forever

You completely changed me when I was fragile

I spent hours in front of the mirror wanting to become you

Scratching my face, swallowing my heart

You kept dumping me

My tail wagged at you that’s my past

i just killed me with all that stress

I just don’t care anymore

This broken feeling’s not too bad

Better than those pathetic days

watch watch gotta watch watch me yeah

(i just kill me killn’ me)

Just ditch it all good boys gone bad

Just ditch it good boys gone bad

I loved you good boys gone bad

now

(break me more just break me)

A scar on my chest gone bad

Slash my heart then gone dead

Who you knew that good boys gone bad

now

(i just kill me killn’ me)

Good boy gone bad

(Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad)

Good boy gone bad

(Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad)

Erase that boy inside of you

Then fill it with the wreck that I’ve become

I’m like a zombie dead alive

Born atop the tomb of love

I like it better now

This completely altered face of mine

I just killed me with all that pain

I just don’t care anymore

So sweet is this shut-eyed night of despair

I feel free now

watch watch gotta watch watch me yeah

(i just kill me killn’ me)

Just ditch it all good boys gone bad

Just ditch it good boys gone bad

I loved you good boys gone bad

now

(break me more just break me)

A scar on my chest gone bad

Slash my heart then gone dead

Who you knew that good boys gone bad

now

(i just kill me killn’ me)

Good boy gone bad

Gouge you out from my heart

Bleeding out the traces of you

love is a lie, i loved that lie

Burn in just burn it out

I give up give love to the dogs forever

I bleed monochrome diamonds instead of blood

Killed it I killed it myself fall head first with broken wings

Doesn’t hurt anymore even if I fall

I like being bad

Just ditch it all good boys gone bad

Just ditch it good boys gone bad

I loved you good boys gone bad

now

(break me more just break me)

A scar on my chest gone bad

Slash my heart then gone dead

Who you knew that good boys gone bad

now

(i just kill me killn’ me)

Good boy gone bad

(Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad)

Good boy gone bad

(Good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad, good boy gone bad)

Good boy gone bad
