[Intro]

[Verse 1: Dave Hemingway]
The perfect love song, it has no words
It only has death threats
And you can tell a classic ballad
By how threatening it gets

So if you walk into your house
And she's cutting up your mother
She's only trying to tell you that
She loves you like no other, no other
She loves you like no other

[Pre-Chorus 1: Brianna Corrigan, Hemingway]
The only emotions
That I know are love and hate
And she's chopping and she's changing
And it's making you afraid

[Chorus 1: Corrigan, Hemingway]
I said, close your eyes
And imagine that I'm nice
She'll kiss you or she'll kill you
But you'll just have to wait
[Post-Chorus 1: Hemingway]
Because some things that I do
Make you go blue
And something that you said
Made me go red

[Verse 2: Hemingway]
The perfect love has no emotions
It only harbors doubt
And if she fears your intentions
She will cut you out

So do not raise your voice
And do not shake your fist
Just pass her the carving knife
If that's what she insists, insists
If that's what she insists

[Pre-Chorus 2: Corrigan, Hemingway]
A hate tattoo on my brain
And a love one on my heart
I'd love to hate you like I love you
And just tear your dreams apart

[Chorus 2: Corrigan, Hemingway]
I said, close your eyes
And imagine that I'm nice
Cupid's arrow looking more like
A Cupid's poisoned dart
[Post-Chorus 1: Hemingway]
Because some things that I do
Make you go blue
And something that you said
Made me go red

[Post-Chorus 2: Corrigan & Hemingway]
Some things that I do
Make you go blue
And something that you said
Made me go red

[Verse 3: Hemingway]
The perfect kiss is dry as sand
And doesn't take your breath
The perfect kiss is with the boy
That you've just stabbed to death

Is with the boy
That you've just stabbed to death
Is with the boy
That you've just stabbed to death
