Powder Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You stupid twit. Well I fail to see the humor in this
'Cause I've ripped my soul apart, now I'm bleeding
I shudder at the thought that you're competing for love
For love, that's all you ever wanted, and it's killing me

I can't conceive, your obsession is hurting me
'Cause we've been here a million times, what's another
It really is a crime, that you're a monger for love

For love, that's all you ever wanted, and it's killing me

They always say, that whatever's yours is mine all the way
We've been here a million times so whats another
It's such a fucking crime
That you're a monger for love
For love its all you ever wanted
You're a monger for love, love
Love is all you ever wanted and its killing me

You stupid twit
