Self Inflicted

Remember when I dove into the crowd

And I got a bloody knee under my skin?

A mark from wiping out

It brings back the memories

Every bone's been broken

And my heart is still wide open

I can't stop don't care if I lose

Baby, you are the weapon I choose

These wounds are self inflicted

I'm going down in flames for you

Baby, you are the weapon I choose

These wounds are self inflicted

One more thing I'm addicted too

With each scar there's a map that tells a story

What a souvenir of

Young love's like jumping out an airplane

Riding a tidal wave on

An ocean of emotion

My heart rips me wide open

I can't stop don't care if I lose

Baby, you are the weapon I choose

These wounds are self inflicted

I'm going down in flames for you

Baby, you are the weapon I choose

These wounds are self inflicted

One more thing I'm addicted too

And I cover up these scars

(We'll make it, we'll make it, but we break it)

And I can't stop seeing stars

(Let's hope not die)

Whenever you're around

Around

I can't stop don't care if I lose

Baby, you are the weapon I choose

These wounds are self inflicted

I'm going down in flames for you

Baby, you are the weapon I choose

These wounds are self inflicted

One more thing I'm addicted too

I can't stop

Oh, I can't stop

No, I can't stop

And I'm going down in flames for you

Oh, I'm going down in flames for you

Baby, you are the weapon I choose

Baby, you are the weapon I choose
