Lyrics for My Heart Is the Worst Kind of Weapon as interpreted by sweetness855

My Heart Is the Worst Kind of Weapon Lyrics
spent most of last night
dragging this lake
for the corpses of all my past mistakes
sell me out, the jokes on you
he is salt and you are the wound
empty another bottle
and let me tear you to pieces
this is me wishing you into the worst situations
i'm the kind of kid that can't let anything go
but you wouldn't know a good thing if it came up and slit your throat

whoa whoa oooh whoa whoa

your remorse hasn't fallen on deaf ears
rather ones that just don't care
cause i know
that you're in between arms somewhere
next to heartbeats where you shouldn't be asleep
now i'll teach you a lesson for keeping secrets from me

take your taste back
peel back your skin
and try to forget how it feels inside
you should try saying no once in a while
oh once in a while
take your taste back
peel back your skin
and try to forget how it feels inside
you should try saying no once in a while
oh once in a while

and did you hear the news
i could dissect you and gut you on this stage
not as elequent as i may have imagined
but it will get the job done
you're done

every line is plotted and designed
to leave you standing on your bedroom windows ledge
and everyone else that it hits
that it gets to
is nothing more than collateral damage

take your taste back
peel back your skin
and try to forget how it feels inside
you should try saying no once in a while
oh once in a while
take your taste back peel back your skin
and try to forget how it feels inside
you try saying no once in a while
oh once in a while

I think the part about take your taste back means I don't want your kiss on my lips and the peel back your skin mean on the outside if you looks good but your personallity sucks

I love this song. I do kinda hate that Pete went back on his feelings about this song, though. But then again, we're not him, so we really have no reason to criticize. But, yeah, like I said, this song is awesome...

And this is kinda off topic, but I'm curious. This site is about song meanings, but yet so many people go to lyric pages of bands they don't like, bash the fans, and all around starting arguments for no apparent reason. Why? What's the deal with people dissing music? Isn't music the universal uniter? Seems to me that it's causing division for some people. What a shame for those mindless idiots.

favourite line of the song
"your remorse hasn't fallen on deaf ears
rather ones that just don't care" :D in fact that whole verse is just great.

I love this song, gets stuck in my head everytime I hear it, such a great "f*uck you, you cheated on me" song

In an AP interview Pete was asked if there were any songs that he wasn't happy w/, wished were better, or whished were left off the album. He replied by saying "I wish I had never written “My Hear Is The Worst Kind of Weapon.” I feel like the spite and hate in that song was a bit too much, even though it was what I was feeling at the time." Just thought you guys should know. Too much or not, this song is amazing.

ahh, EmoRulesMyLife, our exes should get together and go bowling.

the same thing happened to me, except for the fact that I didn't know that girl for so long (like you knew that other boy). She had always been a worry on my mind, but when I finally got the kid (my now ex), I pushed those worries away.
But then, she snuck up from behind and stole him away.

Agh, but girls can be bxxtches, so what's there to say...:/

I heard Pete's girlfriend cheated on him twice in one weekend, and he wrote a bunch of songs about it. I'm guessing this one of the songs written about it first. It makes sense. And he calls her a ho without actaully calling her a ho, and that she wasted all of their relationship on some random guys.

But twice in one weekend? ... thats horrible

The Demo version(which i like alot) has guitars and drums and everything instead of just patrick and an acoustic guitar. it sucks that the original version is acoustic though they should od made the demo the original(cause its really good for a demo) but the acoustics i really good too i guess.

i think that this song has something to do with this guy goin out with a girl they break up and he hates her and wants bad things to happen to her. angst!

“every line is plotted and designed
to leave you standing
on your bedroom window's ledge
and everyone else that it hits
that it gets to
is nothing more than collateral damage”

i think its meant to mean something along the lines of: every thing im saying is meant to make you feel so horrible that you want to jump from your window ledge*. all this anger is for you, every one else that it effects wasn't really the intended target.

* assuming that its a second floor or higher window..

I love this song....

I'm pretty sure this is one of the songs Pete wrote after his girlfriend cheated on him twice in the same weekend.

I think the "take your taste back..." part means take everything that you did back. This song is really good, and I do agree with those who say you can't really truely love fall out boy unless you've had your heart ripped out, because those are probably the people who can relate to them the most.

This is by far my favourite song by fall out boy

Ok well im new here but I think im pretty good at deciphering lyrics… ive had something similar happen to me so this song makes a lot of sence to me


“I spent most of last night dragging this lake
for the corpses of all my past mistakes
sell me out - the joke's on you
we are salt - you are the wound”

basicly hes spent a lot of time thinking about his past mistakes and how the guilt is weighing him down. the “sell me out…” part is about how the girl screwed him over and how hes saying the jokes on her and that she will regret it because he plans on getting revenge (we are salt – you are the wound)


“empty another bottle
and let me tear you to pieces
this is me wishing you
into the worst situations”

he wants to break her down so badly for what she did to him and the only way she would be able to cope is to drink


“I'm the kind of kid
that can't let anything go
BUT you wouldn't know a good thing
if it came up and slit your throat"

hes saying that he holds grudges BUT maybe hes starting to let go because she “wouldn't know a good thing if it came up and slit [her] throat” and is maybe realizing that it might not be entirely his fault


“Your remorse hasn't fallen on deaf ears
rather ones that just don't care
cause I know
that you're in between arms somewhere
next to heartbeats
where you shouldn't dare sleep
Now I'll teach you a lesson
for keeping secrets from me”

its telling how she tried to explain, said sorry and tried to get him to forgive her but he doesn’t care because he knows that she will be sleeping with someone else soon


“Take your taste back
peel back your skin
and try to forget how it feels inside
you should try saying no once in a while
oh once in a while”

I think here hes telling himself to forget the sadness and pain he feels inside and that he should try saying no once in a while (he could be telling himself no, as in to forget this and put it behind him or to tell her no that this isn’t right)


“And did you hear the news?
I could dissect you
and gut you on this stage
not as eloquent as I may have imagined
but it will get the job done (you're done)”

hes saying that he could spill everything and tell everyone what she did to him but he wouldn’t be able to express EVERYTHING he feels inside but it will get the job done


“every line is plotted and designed
to leave you standing
on your bedroom window's ledge
and everyone else that it hits
that it gets to
is nothing more than collateral damage”

umm im kinda confused here but im guessing that hes planned out how to get his revenge but it will effect other people more than her and he mostly just wants to effect her

"your remorse hasn't fallen on deaf ears

it's like saying "I know you're sorry but your still doing it anyways. So it doesn't matter."

I miss old fall out boy :]
But they are still incredible.
