Remember when I dove into the crowd And I got a bloody knee? Under my skin, a mark from wiping out It brings back the memories Every bone's been broken But my heart is still wide open I can't stop Don't care if I lose Baby, you are the weapon I choose These wounds are self inflicted I'm going down in flames for you Baby, you are the weapon I choose These wounds are self inflicted One more thing I'm addicted to With each scar, there's a map that tells a story What a souvenir of Young love's like Jumping out an airplane Riding a tidal wave of An ocean of emotion My heart rips me wide open I can't stop Don't care if I lose Baby, you are the weapon I choose These wounds are self inflicted I'm going down in flames for you Baby, you are the weapon I choose These wounds are self inflicted One more thing I'm addicted to And I'd cover up these scars (But no makeup can make up what we break up) And I can't stop seeing stars (And I'm so knocked out) Whenever you're around-ound Around I can't stop Don't care if I lose Baby, you are the weapon I choose These wounds are self inflicted I'm going down in flames for you Oh, you are the weapon I choose These wounds are self inflicted One more thing I'm addicted to, oh No, I can't stop Oh, I can't stop No, I can't stop And I'm going out in flames Oh, I'm going down in flames I-I-I-I-I Baby, you are the weapon I choose Baby, you are the weapon I choose
