[Verse 1]
I took a trip
Back to the winter of 1985
I've told the doctor it's best this one doesn't make it out alive
He sighed, asked why
He lies and cheats and steals and everything he touches dies
(And he replied)

[Chorus 1]
That's how they built 'em round here, forever
Forever's not that long
'Cause down here we die young
This isn't just a fucking song
(What the fuck good is love?)

[Verse 2]
She looks surprised (She looks surprised)
At the age of my face and the
Lines under my eyes, but time flies
And so should I (So should I)

But I
Am held down by my wings in this web that I've swept full of lies
And I
Am finding it hard to get by without my disguise
'Cause she's gone awry
[Chorus 2]
We said forever
Forever's not that long
'Cause down here we die young
This isn't just a fucking song
We never had a chance
I never learned to love
Never learned to sing or dance
All we learned is how to draw blood

[Post-Chorus]
What the fuck good is love?
What the fuck good's love?
What the fuck good is love?
What the fuck good's love?
What the fuck good is love?

[Verse 3]
You pulled me over yourself
And used me as a shield
And I took everything that they threw at you
I took it all

I thought I was broken before
Now I don't move
I just wait
For time to finish me off
[Pre-Chorus]
We said forever
Forever's not that long
Cause down here we die young
So I put us all in this song

[Chorus 2]
We said forever
Forever's not that long
Cause down here we die young
This isn't just a fucking song
We never had a chance
I never learned to love
Never learned to sing or dance
All we learned is how to draw blood

[Outro]
What the fuck good is love?
