Here comes the kiss of death, you can smell it on my breath
No good comes when you walk with me
But there’s a pity after-party downstairs in the hotel lobby
There’s a single table and a funeral mixtape
I’m reckless, I can’t help it, I just want you to tell me a story about
How I did good today, about how I fit in
Then you’ll say that she loves you for how good you did today
Sweet words from bitter water, my tongue’s a tightrope walker
Life’s iridescent but my face stays vermillion
I’m the introvert at the wedding then the gunpowder in the cannon
What matters is everyone else’s opinion
I’m selfish, I can’t help it, I just want you to tell me a story about
How I did good today, about how I fit in
Then you’ll say that she loves you for how good you did today
And oh from this life I have rendered
You can’t be the centrefold if you ain’t self-centred
I’d be the son who rose to his setting
Who lived and died while never excelling
I’m reckless, I can’t help it, I just want you to tell me a story about
How I did good today, about how I fit in
Then you’ll say that she loves you for how good you did today
That’s how good you did today
