Girls that glitter love the dark We lace it through our bitter, black little hearts And then we feign surprise when we see That those we've loved to love Have seeped into our poisoned blood
Girls that glitter deceive death We thread ourselves through innocent flesh And then we feign surprise when we see That those we've loved to waste they seem to be erased
Knit it through, thread it, sew it to unsuspecting flesh They won't regret it, or so they say And those you have loved have snagged on your thorny veins But they don't regret it, or so you say
Girls that glitter desecrate a kiss We break the code of happiness And then we feign surprise when we see That those we've loved have loved to leave
Girls that glitter defile hope We think that love is just tightening that sad little rope And then we open our eyes and we see Through the gash of a fluttering eyelash
We see love trying desperately to flee But you don't ever have to fear Just break its wings and it will never disappear You don't ever have to fear Just break its wings and it will never disappear
Knit it through, capture it And stitch it to your brittle little heart At least that way love can't tear it apart Knit it through, sew it to They won't regret you ...And if they do?
