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
