3 Feet Smaller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got the panty on backwards
Stick my prick down your throat until it hurts
Put that in your pipe and smoke it
Choke bitch you'll never cheat on me again
It's eldritch
How I get crazy
Do you still love me?
Now way
A face marked by sorrow
I hate this asshole. Why should I forgive you
This situation is your fault
I should have known I should have known
And I thought that you where grown, but I was wrong
My fault
I was blind too long
Reason unknown reason unknown
Your statement's a contradiction botheration, straightforwardness is gone
You little bitch
You are mentally retarded
You fuck around with other guys and afterwards you regret it
I'm trying to figure out where I turned wrong in this race
Maybe you can tell me where I punch you in the face
Every word that you say seems dishonest to me
I just want clarity
Don't try to blame it on me
I get so frustrated
I'm crying
I hate it
I'm still in love with you but I can't forgive this
Chorus
I go stark raving mad, please go before it escalates
You'll live to rue it
Now you cry
And now it escalates
Stark raving mad, stark raving mad, stark raving mad...
