EIf I could stick my pen in my heart
I would spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya,
Would you think the boy is strange?
Ain't he AstrGangEe?
EIf I could win ya, If I could sing ya
a love song so divine
would it be enough for your cheating heart
if I broke down and cried?
If I AcrGieEd?

[VERSE]
EIf I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on the stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain?
Ease your AbrGaiEn?
EIf I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya,
Would you think the boy's insane?
He's AinGsaEne
