Eminem - Tragic Endings

[Verse 1: Skylar Grey]

I'm stumbling, I can’t see straight

And it's my fault I got this way

I got my hands on something great

And found a way to mess it up

I did my best, I tried to change

But it's just in my DNA

I got my hands on something great

And found a way to fuck it up again

[Refrain: Skylar Grey]

Now I’m the one thing you couldn't hate more

But you're the one thing that I would die for

[Verse 2: Eminem]

All my life, I was told, I was never nothing special

I don't need to be reminded of it every other second

'Specially when all my self-esteem's

Already shot to hell, I'm falling helplessly

I'm embarrased, I don’t want no one else to see

’Cause I feel like I'm a piece of shit every time she yells at me

Selfishly addicted, definitely doesn’t help that she

Makes me feel like I've died and gone to heaven

But makes life a living hell for me

She does that thing with her lip, now she's melting me

I'm putty in her palms, I’m wrapped around her finger

A yo-yo on a string, she lets me sit there and just dangle

Until something better comes along

And she'll just drop me like a hot potato

I look like I'm in pain, but I'm okay though

'Cause I know she loves me—my friends, what do they know?

[Chorus: Skylar Grey]

It's like I'm drowning at sea

Hoping that you reach for me

I know you're there, but I can't see

'Cause I'm so drunk off tragic endings

I'm dying to breathe

And all you do is strangle me

Such a beautiful relief

'Cause I'm so drunk off tragic endings

(Drunk off tragic endings)

[Verse 3: Eminem]

In my moments of weakness

I openly admit the shit I wouldn't normally

I'm extremely self-conscious and enormously

Insecure and she uses it to torture when she torments me

It only turns to ammunition for her in this war, when she

Gets goin' she don't stop, when I'm up she's like a downer

When I found her it was love at first encounter

But, somehow she musta took the carton of eggs off the counter

Cracked them and placed all the shells on the ground for

Me to walk on when I'm around her

But there's just something about her

That makes me not able to function without her

How can I get out of it when I don't know how to?

I'm a doubter, I'm a pessimist, make a believer out of me

And show me the way now or stay the fuck out of my cloud of rain

'Cause I'm going straight down the drain, I'm drowning

[Chorus: Skylar Grey]

It's like I'm drowning at sea

Hoping that you reach for me

I know you're there, but I can't see

'Cause I'm so drunk off tragic endings

I'm dying to breathe

And all you do is strangle me

Such a beautiful relief

'Cause I'm so drunk off tragic endings

(Drunk off tragic endings)

[Refrain: Skylar Grey]

Now I'm the one thing you couldn't hate more

But you're the one thing that I would die for

[Verse 4: Eminem]

It took a while for me to get it, but I think I've figured it out

She don't want me, she just don't wanna see me with someone else

The idea of seeing me happy destroys her in itself

To see me falling to pieces brings her joy and brings her health

But it annoys her to see me get the strength to say, "Screw her!"

I threw up on myself, I'm dumb sick, I'm addicted to her

She's tryna block the door, so here's how I do her

Since I'm manure, she's a sewer

And this time this piece of shit's running through her

I can see the light, now I'm running to it

What the fuck? Shoulda knew it!

Who would think she'd actually have the balls to do it?

As soon as I hopped in it, she doused the car with lighter fluid

She's standing there with a rag, 'bout to put the lighter to it

Lit the fucking thing on fire, then she threw it

[Chorus: Skylar Grey]

It's like I'm drowning at sea

Hoping that you reach for me

I know you're there, but I can't see

'Cause I'm so drunk off tragic endings

I'm dying to breathe

And all you do is strangle me

Such a beautiful relief

'Cause I'm so drunk off tragic endings
