I loved you, you made me, hate me.
You gave me hate, see?.
It saved me and these tears are deadly.
You feel that?
I rip back, every time you tried to steal that.
You feel bad? You feel sad?
I'm sorry, hell no fuck that!
It was my heart, it was my life, it was my start, it was your knife.
This strife, it dies, this life and these lies.
And these lungs, have sung, this song, for too long,
And it's true, I hurt too, remember I loved you.

[Chorus]
I've, lost it all, fell today, it's all the same
I'm sorry oh,
I'm sorry no
I've, been abused, I feel so used, because of you
I'm sorry oh,
I'm sorry no

I wish I could have quit you,
I wish I never missed you,
And told you that I loved you, every time I fucked you.
The future that we both drew, and all the shit we've been through,
Obsessed with the thought of you, the pain just grew and grew.
How could you do this to me?
Look at what I made for you, it never was enough and the world is what I gave to you.
I used to be love struck, now I'm just fucked up,
Pull up my sleeves and see the pattern of my cuts.

[Chorus]

Seems like all we had is over now you left to rest.
And your tears are dried up now, you just lay without a sound.
Seems like all we had is over now, you left to rest.
And my fears are over now,
I can leave with my head down.

[Chorus]

    General Comment:If anyone ever watched the live videos that Hollywood Undead's album "Desperate Measure's" brought, they sung this song and told the story, It's about Johnny 3 Tears sleeping with Charlie Scenes sister and Charlie wrote it.

    General Comment:I dont know why but i feel like its meant to be the opposite of Hey There Delilah cuz thats about being with a girl this is about being betrayed by a girl and they both have a flower in their name.

    General Comment:this song was a lot more powerful when i first heard it and didnt know that much about it. it still is, but not as much. to be honest, this song is very immature and directed towards teenagers whove gone through heavy depression or emo states becuz of break-ups. im beginning to think when i get older this song will mean nothing to me. teenagers dont deserve to be depressed and the only reason why the pain depressed teens face is so terrible is becuz their young, isolated, going through several changes and worries about life and have sensitive minds, establishing who they are/how they think. until they realize that they need to get past their stains and death inside, they just want to keep this frame of mind. teenagers have a lot. im not saying that they dont know pain, cuz they do know their own kind of hurt that in this stage in life they can choose to be stuck in as a way to live, im saying that yes, it hurts. but life has a bigger picture. why spend all day in these probs when you have a whole world to establish in? i hope they listen to that. cuz a lot of them will look at this reply and get really mad. i know theres something im missing so a teen may point out something to me thatll prove me that what im saying is mean/wrong. you guys have a lot. you know when you get that feeling of happiness you get thats so beautiful when you deal with depression, that makes you feel like theres something around you bigger than yourself, all these feelings youve never had before? you could be living in these all day long and would get a lot more fruit from it. in a way this song by HU is kind of a poor decision cuz it encourages such things. just like LP. be good youth guys; its worth it.
    this song is about a guy, probably a teen whose been hurt so much, possibly by past relationships, and finds the perfect girl. shes beautiful. hescaptured by everything about her, and falls in love. they get together, do a lot of things they shouldnt, and he begins to think she feels the same way he feels about her. but she cheats on him and he sees her. so all his trust, hope and love for her is smashed cuz she was unimaginally everthing in the world to him, so he finds a weapon and kills both her and the guy from psychotic trauma/shock. and after he realizes how stupid, horrible, heartless, poor and wrong it was to do. hes leaving this as a message at her grave trying to say hes so sorry but so mad at the same time. he regrets what he did but hes still furiously enraged at her. and his emotional and hard past is filling him with this pain making him cut himself and go through so much hurt 24/7. and on top of all this he has the pressure on his shoulders of being caught (possibly the reason its called black dahlia) for the murder and he doesnt want to be found out becuz he realizes he did some how love her so unbelievably much. how could he do this and be known of killing her after being so in love with her? so as he sees it, his life is destroyed. its a story of REALLY bad decisions. all of them pure teenage audienced and immature. but still this song shouldnt be treated meaninglessly and dont think of me calling out that way. its still a good song

    General Comment:i love this song, and what happen to Miss. Short is very tragic,

    but

    i don't think thats what the songs about. i think the singer(s)were truely in love with a women that killed herself. because it says, "I've , Lost it all, fell today,It's all the same", "I've , been abused, I feel so used, because of you",

    and

    "Seems like all we had is over now you left to rest.
    And your tears are dried up now, you just lay without a sound."

    i don't know. -shrug- thast just what it sounds like to me. it doesn't seem, no, it seems more like he hurt himself then he hurt her.
