How the Good Girls Die

What a shame

She lost her brain

She’s really done a number to the family name

Have you heard

She’s out there crying in a party dress sitting on the curb

And they say

She’s overboard,

A full ride wasted all away

So sad

She was just getting pretty

What a shame

She’s gone so mad

So mad, so mad

So stay away from

Neon lights

And boys who drink

And kitchen knives

I swear to you

You’ll lose your mind

Chasing something new

This is how the good girls die

Rumor is

It was heartbreak

What else could’ve

made her turn out like this

And Elle said

When she’s drunk she spills her guts

opens her head

Is it true?

She’s marked up now with more than her tattoo

And she’s not got a clue

what more else could we do

So sad, so sad, so sad

So stay away from

Neon lights

And boys who drink

And kitchen knives

I swear to you

You’ll lose your mind

Chasing something new

This is how the good girls die

This is how the good girls die

And she was spotted walking \'round last night

Stayed in the club until they cut the lights

Talk of the town is that she loved some guy

But now she’s tarnished jewelry that he left behind

So stay away from

Neon lights

And boys who drink

And kitchen knives

Oh better yet

(like a body bag)

Just spare your life

(that\'s what pretty boys, pretty boys do)

Don’t fall in love

(was I born to want more)

Don’t chase the high

I swear to you

You’ll lose your mind

(I don\'t know these days)

She’s living proof

(and they say)

This is how the good girls die
