Backflips through my mind

Best dressed,

but oh yes most likely to fall apart

Life is a mess,

but oh yes

You are very smart

What's it all about for you?

Do you get off on breaking fragile hearts?

I've got nothing to lose

Except maybe you

A shame when we've come this far

A clean sweep you had me

Negativity I left behind

There you were

At your best

and at your worst

Doing backflips

Though my mind

Backflips though my mind

Got some rest,

but oh yes

Don't sleep alone in the dark

Life is a mess,

but oh yes

You are very smart

What's it all about for you?

Do you get off on breaking fragile hearts?

I've got nothing to lose

Except maybe you

A shame when we've come this far

A clean sweep you had me

Negativity I left behind

There you were

At your best

and at your worst

Doing backflips

Though my mind

Backflips though my mind

heartbreak
