  • We touch, I feel a rush, we clutch, it isn't much
    But it's enough to make me wonder what's in store for us
    It's lust, it's torturous, you must be a sorceress
    'Cause you just did the impossible, gained my trust
    Don't play games, it'll be dangerous if you fuck me over
    'Cause if I get burnt, I'ma show ya what it's like to hurt
    'Cause I been treated like dirt before ya
    And love is evil, spell it backwards, I'll show ya
    Nobody knows me, I'm cold, walk down this road all alone
    It's no one's fault but my own, it's the path I've chosen to go
    Frozen as snow, I show no emotion whatsoever so
    Don't ask me why I have no love for these muhfuckin' hoes
    Bloodsuckin' succubuses, what the fuck is up with this?
    I've tried in this department, but I ain't had no luck with this
    It sucks, but it's exactly what I thought it would be like tryna start over
    I got a hole in my heart, but some kind of emotional roller coaster's
    Something I won't go on, so you toy with my emotions, so it's over
    It's like an explosion every time I hold ya, wasn't joking when I told ya
    You take my breath away, you're a supernova, and I'm a

    I'm a space-bound rocket ship and your heart's the Moon
    And I'm aimin' right at you
    Right at you
    Two-hundred-fifty-thousand miles on a clear night in June
    And I'm aimin' right at you
    Right at you
    Right at you

    I'll do whatever it takes, when I'm with you, I get the shakes
    My body aches when I ain't with you, I have zero strength
    There's no limit on how far I would go, no boundaries, no lengths
    Why do we say that until we get that person that we think's
    Gonna be that one? And then once we get 'em, it's never the same
    You want 'em when they don't want you, soon as they do, feelings change
    It's not a contest and I ain't on no conquest for no mate
    I wasn't lookin' when I stumbled onto you, must've been fate
    But so much is at stake, what the fuck does it take?
    Let's cut to the chase 'fore the door shuts in your face
    Promise me if I cave in and break and leave myself open
    That I won't be makin' a mistake, 'cause I'm a

    I'm a space-bound rocket ship and your heart's the Moon
    And I'm aimin' right at you
    Right at you
    Two-hundred-fifty-thousand miles on a clear night in June
    And I'm aimin' right at you
    Right at you
    Right at you

    So, after a year and six months, it's no longer me that you want
    But I love you so much it hurts, never mistreated you once
    I poured my heart out to you, let down my guard, swear to God
    I'll blow my brains in your lap, lay here and die in your arms
    Drop to my knees and I'm pleadin', I'm tryna stop you from leavin'
    You won't even listen, so fuck it, I'm tryna stop you from breathin'
    I put both hands on your throat, I sit on top of you, squeezin'
    'Til I snap your neck like a popsicle stick, ain't no possible reason
    I can think of to let you walk up out this house and let you live
    Tears stream down both of my cheeks, now I let you go and just give
    And 'fore I put that gun to my temple, I told you this

    And I would've did anything for you
    To show you how much I adored you
    But it's over now, it's too late to save our love
    Just promise me you'll think of me
    Every time you look up in the sky and see a star, 'cause I'm a

    I'm a space-bound rocket ship and your heart's the Moon
    And I'm aimin' right at you
    Right at you
    Two-hundred-fifty-thousand miles on a clear night in June
    And I'm so lost without you
    Without you
    Without you Writer/s: James Gregory Scheffer, Marshall B. III Mathers, Steven McEwan
