[English]
Why don't you tell me in your own words,
why you did what you did?
Was it the narcotics?
Maybe.
Were you unhappy?
No.
Was it him?
No.
Well then what was it?
I don't know what you mean.
I know what's wrong with you.
You're just broken inside.
You never did anything right.
You're fucked up.
Say it with me.
I'm broken.
I never did anything right.
You're fucked up.
Did you feel better?
I grew up with a lot of green,
Nice things 'round me,
I was safe, I was fine,
Grew up with a lot of dreams,
Plans who to be,
None of them, none where mine,
I love freaks I don't care if you're a wild one,
I love freaks I don't care if you're a wild one,
I, I'm not the prettiest you've ever seen,
But I have my moments,
I have my moments,
Not the flawless one have never been,
But I have my moments,
I have my moments,
I can get a little drunk,
I get into all the dont's,
But on good days I am charming as fuck,
I can get a little drunk,
I get into all the dont's,
But on good days I am charming as fuck,
I can't be the perfect one,
But I make you come,
And I'm locked in your mind,
You can say I don't belong,
That I'm so wrong,
I can tell, tell you lie,
I love freaks I don't care if you're a wild one,
I love freaks I don't care if you're a wild one,
I, I'm not the prettiest you've ever seen,
But I have my moments,
I have my moments,
Not the flawless one have never been,
But I have my moments,
I have my moments,
I can get a little drunk,
I get into all the dont's,
But on good days I am charming as fuck,
I can get a little drunk,
I get into all the dont's,
But on good days I am charming as fuck,
Rough around the edges,
Memories and baggage
You know me,
Never play a safe card,
When I go I go hard,
And now you know,
I, I'm not the prettiest you've ever seen,
But I have my moments,
I have my moments,
Not the flawless one have never been,
But I have my moments,
I have my moments,
I can get a little drunk,
I get into all the dont's,
But on good days I am charming as fuck,
I can get a little drunk,
I get into all the dont's,
But on good days I am charming as fuck,
