this is not a test, love, this is how it’s gonna stay,
and i’m just terrified that i’ll forget the way you smell someday,
and that the poison in these fingertips won’t know the touch of skin.
because for every little struggle solved a new one must always form again.
you know i only came to bring the ruckus and the pain,
but for every night that i fuck up there’s dawn to start again.
but there’s things that they can’t teach you ‘til you wind up at your worst,
and that’s that everything is beautiful but everything will hurt.
everything is beautiful but everything will hurt.
you don’t wanna be my lover, and i don’t wanna be your friend,
but i’d do anything to hear you lie to me again.
like you know there’s nothing for me here, no matter what you said,
because darling this is just another place that i’ll be leaving when i’m dead.
you know i only came to bring the ruckus and the pain,
but for every night that i fuck up there’s dawn to start again.
but there’s things that they can’t teach you ‘til you wind up at your worst,
and that’s that everything is beautiful and everything will hurt.
everything is beautiful and everything will hurt.
everything is beautiful and everything will hurt.
