Wouldn't have made it to prom on time If my spite wasn't attaching every segment of my spine Would've had myself buried alive If I didn't remember better uses for time cause It didn't work in this life Maybe it will in the next Maybe I'll find someones wife To sacrifice as a mistress Or an elixir for tricking someone to fall in my pit And then entrance them for shedding some flesh and then undress But this is not the way No this is not the way that our daddy raised us This is not the way no this is not the way that our daddy raised us Cause we've had our ups and downs What could we be now You set me up for torching your wedding gown You set me up for torching your wedding gown Wouldn't have used any reason to try If I wasn't addicted to your moaning and sighs And out of the times I have watched you cry Realized being malicious is just as much of a crime But I stand by my innocence Never told much of a lie Though I admit that sometimes I might've tightened some ties But if I live forever I hope I'm not haunted by your ghost Cause I could either press my lips upon your kiss Or press my wrists against your throat But this is not the way (this is not the way) This is not the way (this is not the way) This is not the way, no Cause we've had our ups and downs You set me up for torching your wedding gown What we had, was a lie Let me, let me down Cause we've had our ups and downs What could we be now What we had, was a lie So let me, let me down
