Backbone

When we were young and dumb
And our cold conscience held us up
Your backbone was so strong
Until she came along

She lived an easy life
She never learned to compromise
Lived off her papa's coal mine
But now she's all alone and you're her type
Soon as she batted her bright eyes
I knew she would be your demise
And maybe she's just trapped inside her daddy's pride and joy

But you fell in love with the wrong kind of girl
You should have burned her picture long time ago
You thought she'd change but we both know you're to blame
That it's the wrong kind of girl, it's the wrong kind of girl

She thinks you're all grown up
But you're a child deep inside
Day after day, mending cracks in your shallow spine
And I heard your backbone break
And I watched your knees begin to quake
I heard your balls drop off
And she was there to take their place

But you fell in love with the wrong kind of girl
You should have burned her picture long time ago
You thought she'd change but we both know you're to blame
That it's the wrong kind of girl, it's the wrong kind of girl

You fell in love
You fell in love
With the wrong kind of girl, it's the wrong kind of girl

You should have burned her picture
You should have burned her picture
You should have burned her picture
You should have burned her picture
You should have burned her picture
You should have burned her picture
You should have burned her picture
You should have burned

But you fell in love
And you fell in love
You fell in love
With the wrong kind of girl, it's the wrong kind of girl
It's the wrong kind of girl, it's the wrong kind of girl
You fell in love
You fell in love
