She is so brave for seventeen   Smoking it up, making a scene   She could pass for twenty two   With her sisters out, they make up in tattoos   Love has no feeling, into her innocence they're stealing      And every corner she cuts reaches out and cuts her back   And every little white lie she try to sell turns black as coal   Oh, what a heart breaker to be a failure as a faker      He wants to work in rock and roll   Get all the girls, be a part of the show   Shouldn't jump so he could show his friends   That his act is [Incomprehensible]   But I've got to tell him just how much it scares him      And every corner he cuts reaches out and cuts him back   And every little white lie he try to sell turns black as coal   Oh, what a heart breaker to be a failure as a faker      Said I could not take no more   Our love is a bore, I'm hitting out the door   Even now while looking back   Wondering how long it could have last   So my old heart freezing, in my stomach's a queasing      And every corner I cut reaches out and cuts me back   And every little white lie I try to sell turns black as coal   What a heart breaker I'm a failure as a faker      And every corner I cut reaches out and cuts me back   And every little white lie I try to sell turns black as coal
