lyrics

my beautiful future
is stretched out behind me
I see it through two black eyes

and I've got a brown belt
in saying I'm sorry
but somehow it's a huge
always a huge fucking surprise

each time the two-story tissue box mansion burns down
with such startling violence
cause I had such sparkling confidence

I was a princess
he was an angel
we lived in a castle
inside a bottle of Maker's Mark

I'll grow a new heart

a face through a window
that's shaped like a diamond
is watching me drive
I'm always driving away

and I've got the open
smile of a suitcase
wind whistling through
my toothless face

bathed in the bloodthirsty kindness of strangers
who used to be
pretty good friends of mine
I write my hilarious valentine

I was a princess
he was an angel
we lived in a castle
inside a bottle of Maker's Mark

I'll grow a new heart

he didn't steal it
I threw it away
it slipped from my pocket
fell from a locket
I dropped it on the floor of the bathroom
in the back of Finnegan's bar

I'll grow a new heart

when I can keep some food down
when I can breathe
I'll be forgiving
excuse him for living
I'll wear a glittering pink taffeta dress
instead of this tattered old newspaper mess

I'll be a princess
he'll be an angel
we'll live in a castle
inside a bottle of Maker's Mark

I'll grow a new heart
