You were so perfect when it all began
Treated me like your princess
Life was a fairytale
Every moment together felt cinematic
I was Astrid and you were Paul
Both alone in the world
Longing to runaway, drive off at night
Be somewhere new by day
Where no one would have to know our names
But there’s a distance between you & I, one that I can’t shorten
I’m now a puppet you can’t control
I feel neglеcted, left in the dirt
Seeking attеntion from other men but none of them compare to you
All temporary, I always leave, use them to revitalize my self esteem
Just enough to numb the heartache & attention deficiency
What happened to Mr. Nice Guy?
Grinding the hearts of all the people you’ve ever been with inside a blender
Devouring them like a smoothie
Planting rose bushes where i’ve buried their bodies
Painting white roses red with the blood of the strangers I've killed in my shed
Bathing in what's left, boiling the petals with their bones to rebirth myself
Absorbing whatever it is they have that i’m missing, selling their souls for your love
Call it obsessive or a love disorder, I just want us to be happy and alone
Together forever, forever together
What happened to Mr. Nice Guy, you promised you’d never let me go
Treated me like your princess
Life was a fairytale
Every moment together felt cinematic
I was Astrid and you were Paul
Both alone in the world
Longing to runaway, drive off at night
Be somewhere new by day
Where no one would have to know our names
But there’s a distance between you & I, one that I can’t shorten
I’m now a puppet you can’t control
I feel neglеcted, left in the dirt
Seeking attеntion from other men but none of them compare to you
All temporary, I always leave, use them to revitalize my self esteem
Just enough to numb the heartache & attention deficiency

Together forever, forever together
What happened to Mr. Nice Guy, you promised you’d never let me go
