17

17 new problems
17 new pains
17 new drops of blood
Falling from my battered soul
You've brought me up
And torn me down
You swore to God you'd love me
Yet all you ever did was lead me on
All you ever did was hurt me
All you ever did was cause
17 new problems
17 new pains
17 new drops of blood
Falling from this worn razor
These lines of red
These canyons of pain
This river of blood
Falling from my wrist
Are all because of you
You drove me to this
You lied, connived, and cheated
Your way into my heart
So now I'm gonna cut you out
And let you flow away
Along with those problems
Along with those pains
Along with the rest of me
Your never gonna hurt me again
No ones gonna hurt me again
The next time that you see me
Your gonna be putting me to my grave
And maybe then you'll realize
That those
17 little problems
17 little pains
Those
17 little things that never mattered much
Meant the world to me
And it's all because of you
That I matter no more
