Scum Sweetheart

Well, we walk hand in hand till life does us part
Me and the world, my scum sweetheart
We met a long ago with a flirt and a stare
Together ever since a lethal love affair
I tried to get out, to get up and go
I was afraid of the fall, the vertigo

You made me suffer, guilt was your game
You had control of what I became
A rotten romance if I'd stayed I'd die
It was a fond farewell when I said goodbye
Now I'm free on solid ground
No more of you pushing me around

You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, you broke my heart
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, you broke my heart

Oh yeah
You broke my heart

You're the world full of lies
How could I think of compromise?
It seems to me a solitaire affair
I was in need but you didn't care

Please stay away, heart breaker
You're not gonna be my soul taker
I've got friends that want to see you
They'd stay away if they had a clue

You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, you broke my heart
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, you broke my heart

You broke my heart
You took my heart
Come, be my soul taker

It's a black heart that I see
It's evil, it's bad and all in between
Whatever it is I'll do my part
To keep you from being their scum sweetheart

You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, you broke my heart
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, you broke my heart

You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, you broke my heart
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, you broke my heart

You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, you're the world
You broke my heart
