Lyrics[]
Easy come, easy go
That's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all
But you never give
Should've known you was trouble
From the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open?
Gave you all I had
You tossed it in the trash
Tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love
Is all I ever asked
Cause what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd throw my hand on a blade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
You wouldn't do the same
Black, black, black and blue
Beat me 'til I'm numb
Tell the devil I said "hey" when you get back to where you're from
Bad boy, bad boy
That's just what you are
Yeah, you smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car
Gave you all I had
You tossed it in the trash
Tossed it in the trash, yes you did
To give me all your love
Is all I ever asked
Cause what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd throw my hand on the blade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
If my body was on fire
You would watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me, you're a liar
Cause you never, ever, ever did, baby
But, darling, I'd still catch a grenade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd throw my hand on the blade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes I would die for you baby
But you won't do the same
You wouldn't do the same
You wouldn't do the same
Oh, you wouldn't do the same
Oh, no no no
