"Eating Me Alive" lyrics - ALKALINE TRIO

ALKALINE TRIO
"Eating Me Alive"

Well I found you outside like a sunrise
That melted my eyes from my skull
As I turned into ash before my sweet demise
The end of me was so beautiful

And now you're stuck in my head like a love song
That Climbed to the top of the charts
How the fuck could something be so right and so wrong?
All the wrong words but all the right parts

And you can't sit there and tell me that I didn't try
And I can honestly tell you that I never lied
I can't stand this dark feeling, this shark eating me up inside...
Eating me alive, eating me alive

Well I found you out there in the moonlight
In your eyes there were diamonds like stars
I was bound by your father the jewel thief that night
As you said, he was still behind bars

And now you're stuck in my head like a love song
The words I can never forget
As I sucked on your neck for way too long
And drained you of every last drop you had left

And you can't sit there and tell me that I didn't try
And I can honestly tell you that I never lied
I can't stand this dark feeling, this shark eating me up inside
Eating me alive, eating me alive

Here lies a homicidal story, sad but true
The time has come and gone that I'd do anything for you

You can't sit there and tell me that I didn't try
And I can honestly tell you that I never lied
I can't stand this dark feeling, this shark eating me up inside
Eating me alive, eating me alive
