Japanese Gum Lyrics

I used to know this girl
Who gave her love away
To every guy she met
And with all the games they played
She never seemed to cry
She never got upset
And one by one they came
And one by one they left
I thought that I could fix her
If she would let me in
But all of my advances
Were shut down in the end
When days turned into months
I begged her to explain
And this is what she sang

Its not like Im a slut
Or that I really like to fuck
I just want every boy I see
To walk away with part of me

Until theres nothing left to hold
Until theres nothing left to hate
I appreciate your help
But even you cant save me from myself

I used to know this boy
Who took notes in a book
But he ripped out all the pages
Before I got a look
At all the words he scribbled
At all the lines he filled
But the ink stains on his fingers
Told me he was skilled
At capturing a feeling
That most of us just miss
The simple pain of living
With goodbyes on our lips
I found one of the pages
Crumpled by her bed
And this is how it read

Its not like I am weak
Or that I dont know how to leave
Its just that every time you cheat
You bring me closer to defeat

Until theres nothing left to love
Until theres nothing left to say
I know that you need help
But even I cant save you from yourself
