lyrics

I need pain in my life
I need my whole world torn apart
I need more drama and addiction
Heartbreak and self-affliction
If I'm ever really gonna be a star

You might just be the one to do it
Now I know this sounds insane
I'm just looking for a muse
To give me something I can use
And baby you're my prayer for rain

Chorus:
If you break my heart
I'll write a thousand songs
I'll get a double album out of it at least
I'll find that hook I'm looking for
Just as you're walking out the door
That's not irony, baby
That's just a disconcerting congruency

I won't get you hooked on drugs
I won't make you stay up late
We don't have to smash hotel rooms
Unless that's what you're into
Darling' all that other stuff can wait

I live the curse of a middle class white boy
Never worked an honest day in my whole life
I've never had a gun to my head
I've never had a horse-head in my bed
So tell me what am I supposed to write?

Chorus

Sometimes you have to take a chance
Say goodbye to that drab and dreary romance
Trade it all in for some newfound independence
and a story for the grandkids that you'll have
with some other guy

Chorus
