Curse Girl

Breathing from her lips

Maybe Once upon a Time

Back when it was ok

Back when I had my head on straight

 

Baby, I didn't know it then

Thought nothing at the time

But you were destroying what was mine

 

(The curse of your lips)

 

And so I can't just pretend

Whenever I see you again

 

(The curse of your eyes)

 

Whenever I gaze into your eyes

I lose everything that's mine

 

AND I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW

I THINK OF YOU AS PLAGUE

I DON'T WANT MY HEART TO BREAK

 

CUZ WHENEVER I LOOK IN THOSE EYES

 

- I LOSE EVERYTHING THAT'S MINE!

 

So you're just my curse, girl

My lucky number thirteen

 

So you're just the Curse-Girl

Without you, my record's clean

 

Maybe Once upon a time

Every now and again

I catch the gaze and the grin

 

Baby, I should have noticed soon

When you look in my eyes

I LOSE EVERYTHING THAT'S MINE!

 

IN THE CURSE OF YOUR MIND!

IN THE CURSE OF YOUR SOUL!

YOU'RE THE LITTLE CURSE OF MINE!

MY LITTLE CURSE-GIRL!

 

(The curse of your lips)

 

And so I can't just pretend

Whenever I see you again

 

(The curse of your eyes)

 

Whenever I gaze into your eyes

I lose everything that's mine

 

AND I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW

I THINK OF YOU AS PLAGUE

I DON'T WANT MY HEART TO BREAK

 

CUZ WHENEVER I LOOK IN THOSE EYES

 

- I LOSE EVERYTHING THAT'S MINE!

 

AND IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY

(WITH ANYONE ELSE!)

AND YOU'LL WALK MY WAY

(ALL BY YOURSELF)

 

LIKE A BLACK CAT OR BROKEN LADDER -

I'LL LOSE EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS!

 

AND ITS ANY OTHER DAY

(WHEN MY LIFE IS GOIN FINE)

BUT YOU'RE LIKE MY BROKEN MIRROR

 

- I LOSE EVERYTHING THAT'S MINE!

 

(The curse of your lips)

 

And so I can't just pretend

Whenever I see you again

 

(The curse of your eyes)

 

Whenever I gaze into your eyes

I lose everything that's mine

 

AND I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW

I THINK OF YOU AS PLAGUE

I DON'T WANT MY HEART TO BREAK

 

But I just love looking in those eyes...

 

...you're like kryptonite in disguise...
