I fell in love with a lopsided boy
with a funny name, and no sense of shame
He broke my heart, and tore my veins
Before he knew, I loved his brain
If only I had listened better
If I stayed invisible
If only I had kept it together
If running away was forgivable

It's not your fault
You tried, you tried
It's not your fault
I died, I died
It's not your responsibility
I ran away from the
Only sort of family I had
Sixteen never seemed so bad

I fell in love with the call of the wild
Toothy grin for a smile on the shell of a man
He sunk his teeth, and made me bleed
And took me in, and helped me breathe
If only I had listened better
If I stayed there with my pack
If only I had kept it together
If I hadn't panicked, turned my back

Chorus

As the weight of all the lives I've ruined
Worried faces of the ones I knew
And I'm sorry that I couldn't make it
Happy that you didn't fight me, too
So just kill me, keep me dead forever
Let my body rest on the worm moon
Decomposing, bruised and broken
This is where I'm the best for you
It's where I'm the best of you
I was never the best of you

I fell in love with a lopsided boy
With a funny name, and no sense of shame
He took my hand and helped me stand
On my own feet, and we both ran
Off to a life I hoped was better
Where I lived to seventeen
No regrets, with you just moments:
Start and end and in between
Tell my brother, tell my Alpha
That I loved them both to death
Tell my mother, tell my father
I'm alive, I'm just in debt

Chorus
As the impossibility of seventeen
