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 thought the first line was: 'spent most of last night
dragging this leg over corpses of all my past mistakes'....

i wish i could write lyrics that were even half as good as FOB's

Anyone else hear the new version of this yet?

It's pretty sick.

I love how fob keep it real. Like they have all this success but still don't forget their roots. Like the drummer was on mtv the other day with a 7 angels 7 plagues hoodie. And there's definitely a breakdown at the end of the electric version of this song, just tacked on.

And pete mentioned his dogs circle pitting to hatebreed on the q and a of their site one time. it's just so cool how they are hardcore kids making pop punk for the masses, but still staying down with the scene. Even if I could take or leave their fuct era material, I still really dig their older stuff.

Eh, I'm just rambling now..

umm...it ts definitely lake because you drag lakes for corpses...that are at the bottom...cause they died...

you know.

and also...this is WAY better as the original, acoustic version...

and so is the acoustic version of "nobody puts baby in the corner"

whoever said the acoustic versions aren't as good, obviously can't read the emotion that HAS to come out because its just you , an acoustic, and your lyrics.

Not a band, a studio, some producers. Just your heart.

I wish FOB released a cd with acoustic covers of all their songs, since everybody knows that ALL their songs start as acoustic songs anyways.

oh FOB tara. when someone going missing or is assume dead the police will 'drag' all places like lakes and canals to make sure that the missings person hasn't been dumped in the water. im not really sure how they drag a lake/canal/river/any form of water but thats the term used.

i love this song it was my fave but ive over done it a tad and replaced it with 'chicargo is two years ago'!

i relate to it so much that listening to it makes me feel like im dying inside-its that powerful


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 COLLATEROL DAMAGE

This song means so much to me. I guess i cant really connect to the whole thing, but fall out boy means the world..well at least they do to me. This song is definately the best song on the My heart will always be the b-side to my tongue. Patrick's voice is amazing in that song. Sometimes i find that i like the softer stuff better than the dark and hardcore kind of music. But then again...when i'm feeling depressed i can really listen to the more dark stuff and feel just a little bit better. When i listen to this song, its like i drift off into another world and forget all my worries.

(Just so u know, the person who posted these lyrics, some of them are wrong)

Basicly this is was written after being pissed. It's like venting to a piece of paper.

I always saw it being about cheating, mostly because of this part,
"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"

This song is too amazing, it pisses me off because nothing I've ever written will ever be that amazing.

"your remorse hasn't fallen on deaf ears
rather ones that just don't care"

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.

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

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

“every line is plotted and designed

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....

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!
