Too bad you knew me.
I wasn't ready.
I wasn't ready.
Did I say come and get me?
Too bad I held on when you tried to tell me,
This was wrong.
This was wrong.
I am no masterpiece where innocence is painted green
Isn't it strange to think how you created all of me?
[Chorus]
Done by the hands of a broken artist
You painted black where my naked heart is
Now I finally know what wrong is
Carved like a stone with hands still shaking
On display through a soul still breakin'
Aren't you proud you're the one that made me?
You can't erase these, lines you can't save me
You can't display me, you know what dismay means
Can't even try to
Remember what I knew
Before I became your model to claim no
I grew tired
You expired
You finished me
Now that I'm all that you planned
What do you think?
[Chorus]
(I won't ever let you fall, I'm no masterpiece at all)
I wasn't ready.
I wasn't ready.
Did I say come and get me?
Too bad I held on when you tried to tell me,
This was wrong.
This was wrong.
I am no masterpiece where innocence is painted green
Isn't it strange to think how you created all of me?
[Chorus]
Done by the hands of a broken artist
You painted black where my naked heart is
Now I finally know what wrong is
Carved like a stone with hands still shaking
On display through a soul still breakin'
Aren't you proud you're the one that made me?
You can't erase these, lines you can't save me
You can't display me, you know what dismay means
Can't even try to
Remember what I knew
Before I became your model to claim no
I grew tired
You expired
You finished me
Now that I'm all that you planned
What do you think?
[Chorus]
(I won't ever let you fall, I'm no masterpiece at all)

I think this is about Frankenstien
I tried all i could to keep him. made crazy, desperate attempts to keep him, and get him back.. he continued to deny me.
"Too bad I held on...when you tried to tell me. This was wrong..."
Now i'm just like him.. and had i met him in this point of time, i believe we would have had an even more dysfunctional relationship.. but perhaps we would have remained together for more than a year.
"Too bad you knew me. I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready. Did I say come and get me?"
being with him, no doubtedly changed me. he riddled my heart, and left me with the blood on my sleeves, he denys what he made.
"Isn't it strange to think how you created all of me?"
if you are refering to the lyrics posted being incorrect, they are almost exactly right (to the official version anyways), the only part off is that instead of saying "this is wrong" twice at the beginning, it says "Well, is this wrong?" the second time. and at the end, they forgot to put "Too bad you knew me. I wasn't ready. I am no masterpiece at all".
As I said, I am going by the official version of the song, but of course there are many versions of a lot of Meg and Dia's songs floating around out there, but these lyrics are almost exact.
and this has so many wrong lyrics
"Can't even try to remember what I knew. Before I became your model to claim no."
It was like it was who she was all along, and she couldn't remember who she used to be.
Anyways, it reminds me of a movie called white oleander because it is about a girl who is at first innocent but then her mother kills someone and gets sent to jail, so she lives in numerous foster homes and gets exposed to things she hadnt been exposed to before.
One part in the movie made me make this connection.
It was when she was living with a different family and one of the girls that lived with her was sneaking out of the house at night, and so she kind of looked at her with an innocent "why are you doing that" expression and she just says "Dont look at me like that. Youre exactly like me, you just dont know it yet."
So the song and the movie have similar meanings. In both they lose their innocence, wich is referred to in the song as a masterpeice. And this song helped me understand the movie too.
Sorry if this is a bit confusing
