Tragic Endings (feat. Skylar Grey) - Eminem

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 all 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

Now I’m the one thing

You couldn’t hate more

But you’re the one thing

That I would die for

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 the hell up

Falling helplessly, I’m embarrased

And 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 indeed

But 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?

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

In my moments of weakness

I openly admit this 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 going, she don’t stop

When I’m up, she’s like a downer

When I found her

It was love at first encounter

Plus, somehow, she must’ve 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 ’bout 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

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

Now I’m the one thing

You couldn’t hate more

But you’re the one thing

That I would die for

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, brings her hell

But it annoys her to see me

Get this straight, then 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

This time, this piece of shit’s running through her

I can see that right now, I’m running to it

What the fuck? Should’ve knew it

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

As soon as I hopped in it, she gassed 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

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
