Lyrics[]

It's not like I made myself a list
Of new and different ways to murder your heart
I'm just a painting that's still wet,
If you touch me I'll be smeared
You'll be stained
Stained for the rest of your life

So turn around, walk away
Before you confuse the way we abuse each other
If you're not afraid of getting hurt
Then I'm not afraid of how much I hurt you

I'm well aware I'm a danger to myself
Are you aware I'm a danger to others?
There's a crack in my soul
You thought was a smile

Whatever doesn't kill you
Is gonna leave a scar
Whatever doesn't kill you
Is gonna leave a scar

I'm more like a silver bullet
Than I'm like a gun, not easy to hold
I'm moving fast and if I stay inside your heart
I'm certain that this will be the end of your life

So turn around, walk away
Before you confuse the way we abuse each other
If you're not afraid of getting hurt
Then I'm not afraid of how much I hurt you

I'm well aware I'm a danger to myself
Are you aware I'm a danger to others?
There's a crack in my soul
You thought was a smile.

Whatever doesn't kill you
Is gonna leave a scar
Whatever doesn't kill you
Is gonna leave a scar
Leave a scar
Leave a scar

Whatever doesn't kill you
Is gonna leave a scar

I should warn you that you may fuck me
But the chances are I'm gonna fuck you over

Whatever doesn't kill you
Is gonna leave a scar
Whatever doesn't kill you
Is gonna leave a scar

Leave a scar
Leave a scar
Whatever doesn't kill you
Is gonna leave a scar
