We walk hand in hand til life does us part
Me and the world my scum sweetheart
We met 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 Id stayed Id die
Twas a fond farewell when I said goodbye
Now Im free on solid ground
No more of you pushing me around me around
Chorus
Youre my scum sweetheart
Youre the world you broke my heart
Youre my scum sweetheart
Youre the world you broke my heart
Youre the world full of lies
How could I think of compromise?
It seems to me a solitaire affair
I was in need but you didnt care
Please stay away heartbreaker
Youre not gonna be my soul taker
Ive got friends that want to see you
Theyd stay away if they had a clue
Repeat chorus
Its a black heart that I see
Its evil itsbad and all in between
Whatever it is Ill do my part
To keep you from being their scum sweetheart
Repeat chorus
