Scum Sweetheart

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 I'd stayed I'd die
t'was a fond farewell when I said goodbye
Now I'm free on solid ground
no more of you pushing me around me around

{chorus}:
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world you broke my heart
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world you broke my heart

You're the world full of lies
how could I think of compromise?
It seems to me a solitaire affair
I was in need but you didn't care
Please stay away heartbreaker
you're not gonna be my soul taker
I've got friends that want to see you
they'd stay away if they had a clue

It's a black heart that I see
it's evil it'sbad and all in between
Whatever it is I'll do my part
to keep you from being their scum sweetheart
