Lyrics/Song Structure:
---: Play Intro - A over:
Don't let me down, don't let me down again
Don't let me down, don't let me down again
Don't let me down, don't let me down again
Don't let me down, don't let me down again
---: Play Intro - B (x1)
---: Play Verse Riff over:
Swelled up eyes, oh my, the girl got beat
And the stupid motherfucker who made you so
That punk is a coward let that be told
I hear voices in the night that are electric
He kicks the shit out of her because he's heartless
She won't leave, she has low self-esteem
He's got gravitational pull
Sucks her body till her heart and limbs frow cold
---: Play Chorus Riff over:
Hang in there, use your head
How can I love you after you're dead
Hang in there, keep trying
How can I love you after dying
---: Play Verse Riff over:
Here's what you got to tell him
I'm thinking of a picture that's keeping me in a stitch
You're causing me a mental glitch
'Cause jealousy is such a bitch
I hereby emancipate myself from that
You can consider yourself free to flirt and chat
With whoever you want, should have always been that way
The way that you want, the way that you play
My minds's a blank slate I'm pretending you're erased
You cannot let me down if I cannot see your face
---: Play Chorus Riff over:
Hang in there, use your head
How can I love you after you're dead
Hang in there, keep trying
How can I love you after dying
---: Play Verse Riff over:
Ode to a beat up girl, I know you're out there
Stronger than you think, stand up if you care
Get up off the ground, don't let me down
Get up off the ground, don't let me down
---: Play Chorus Riff over:
Hang in there, use your head
How can I love you after you're dead
Hang in there, keep trying
How can I love you after...And you, and you
I'm a let you pass without kicking your ass
Because I'm above it, you hurt someone I love
It takes two to make a thing go right, and that's trite
But one just to sneak and weasel through the night, if you
---: Play Ending over:
hurt her again I'll fuck you up
If you hurt her again I'll fuck you up, fuck you up
If you hurt her again I'll fuck you up,
If you hurt her again I'll fuck you up, fuck you up
