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

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
