Treat me wrong honey, I don't care,
It's as about as good as I deserve,
How can you say your gonna miss me now,
When I know that you never needed me,
You never liked me much anyway,
What a scare, what a scare baby!
I still remember watching you sleep,
All knotted and twisted up in our sheets,
Now you're my ghost story, the one that keeps my curtains closed
My biggest fear is that if I let you go,
You'll come and get me in my sleep
Don't go quietly unto your grave
Is it wrong to not wanna be where I know I don't belong?
Is it wrong to not wanna be,
Where I know I don't belong,
Come and get me baby,
Come and get me in my sleep,
