We walk hand in hand 'til life does us part 
me and the world my scum sweetheart 
We met long ago with a flirt and a stare 
together ever since a lethal love affair 
I tried to get out to get up and go 
I was afraid of the fall the vertigo 

You made me suffer guilt was your game 
you had control of what I became 
A rotten romance if I'd stayed I'd die 
t'was a fond farewell when I said goodbye 
Now I'm free on solid ground 
no more of you pushing me around me around 

You're my scum sweetheart 
You're the world you broke my heart 
You're my scum sweetheart 
You're the world you broke my heart 

You're the world full of lies 
how could I think of compromise? 
It seems to me a solitaire affair 
I was in need but you didn't care 
Please stay away heartbreaker 
you're not gonna be my soul taker 
I've got friends that want to see you 
they'd stay away if they had a clue 

You're my scum sweetheart 
You're the world you broke my heart 
You're my scum sweetheart 
You're the world you broke my heart 

It's a black heart that I see 
it's evil it'sbad and all in between 
Whatever it is I'll do my part 
to keep you from being their scum sweetheart 

You're my scum sweetheart 
You're the world you broke my heart 
You're my scum sweetheart 
You're the world you broke my heart
