Verse 1[edit]

To speak in terms of pure aesthetics
It's like Botticelli were still alive
But now I've learned that where utility's concerned
You aren't worth two stars out of five

The very first time you caught my eye
You struck me down like Azrael
You held my hand and I was instantly damned
To the second circle of the saddest hell

CHORUS 1[edit]

I look into your eyes and I know it's too late
This is... the worst thing
The Outer Gods could not inflict a crueller fate
You are the worst thing that's ever happened to me

Verse 2[edit]

To kiss thy soft cheeks' blooming tinge
You decry as sexual assault
Don't try to get semantic with this homeless romantic
Your daddy issues aren't my fault

You wanna fool around but you're fickle as Fortuna
You ask me in, then turn me down
Love's not love that alters when mere affection falters
So don't just think I'll wait around

CHORUS 2[edit]

I hold you in my arms and I start to suffocate
This is... the worst thing
I wish I'd joined a cloister where they read the Vulgate
You are the worst thing that's ever happened to me

Bridge[edit]

You say we're just a little dysfunctional
But honey, let's get one thing straight
All your good intentions aren't even worth the mention
'Cause when they're misdirected, LOVE IS HATE

Verse 3[edit]

You thought it was enough to keep a hot facade
But now the walls are falling in
Your alabaster brow ain't gonna help you now
We've got to answer for our sin

What we have between us isn't pure or true
It's called down wrath from up above
Perhaps I sound Byronic, in which case it's ironic
That all I ever wanted was your love

CHORUS 3[edit]

I rebelled against the heavens when we started to date
This is... the worst thing
The only option is destruction when you can't create
You are the worst thing that's ever happened to me

CHORUS 4[edit]

We crossed a little line and now we're reprobate
This is... the worst thing
If you think it sucks, well darling, I relate
'Cause you're the worst thing that's ever happened to me
