well, if eating crow were fateful

then I guess I’ve had my plateful

I don’t mean to sound so hateful

but what you put me through was painful

it’s too grating to be grateful

but in a way I should be thankful

in a fucked up way I owe it all to you

because if you hadn’t treated me like shit

I wouldn’t be writing so many songs like this

distilling pain with my greatest wit

keeping lists of words that rhyme with bitch

writing breakup songs like Taylor Swift

like I’m some sort of narcissist

in a fucked up way I owe it all to you

CHORUS:

so I guess I was just gullible

when I thought we were a good couple

it turns out that I’m untouchable

that makes me unfuckable

I don’t care if you’re uncomfortable

just found out that I’m unlovable

in a fucked up way I owe it all to you

well, I know I have a tendency

of giving others all the best of me

but your logic is a fallacy

you can fuck your codependency

so what if losing you was the end of me?

how can too much love be a deficiency?

in a fucked up way I owe it all to you

you said I need you and need is lack

I’m a sack of shit without the sack

but how could you just turn your back?

I’d follow your lead but you wiped your tracks

my heart is cold, my soul is black

I’m reduced to just screaming facts

in a fucked up way I owe it all to you

CHORUS

every flower needs both sun and rain

all pleasure must come from pain

delight and despair they both start the same

this fact is driving me insane

you’ve given me enough grief to drive me to fame

I’ll be thinking of you when I blow out my brains

in a fucked up way I owe it all to you

well, it must be clear seen from above

success and pain go hand in glove

you create the Hell my songs come from

when I’m on the edge you give me a shove

if you won’t be my supportive love

at least you’ll be my Courtney Love

in a fucked up way I owe it all to you

CHORUS

in a fucked up way I owe it all

to you
