  • Hate to give the satisfaction asking how you're doing now
    How's the castle built off people you pretend to care about?
    Just what you wanted
    Look at you, cool guy, you got it
    I see the parties and the diamonds sometimes when I close my eyes
    Six months of torture you sold as some forbidden paradise
    I loved you truly
    You gotta laugh at the stupidity

    'Cause I've made some real big mistakes
    But you make the worst one look fine
    I should've known it was strange
    You only come out at night
    I used to think I was smart
    But you made me look so naïve
    The way you sold me for parts
    As you sunk your teeth into me, oh
    Bloodsucker, famefucker
    Bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire

    And every girl I ever talked to told me you were bad, bad news
    You called them crazy, God, I hate the way I called them crazy too
    You're so convincing
    How do you lie without flinching?
    (How do you lie? How do you lie? How do you lie?)
    Oh, what a mesmerizing, paralyzing, fucked up little thrill
    Can't figure out just how you do it and God knows I never will
    Went for me and not her
    'Cause girls your age know better

    I've made some real big mistakes
    But you make the worst one look fine
    I should've known it was strange
    You only come out at night
    I used to think I was smart
    But you made me look so naïve
    The way you sold me for parts
    As you sunk your teeth into me, oh
    Bloodsucker, famefucker
    Bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire

    You said it was true love, but wouldn't that be hard?
    You can't love anyone, 'cause that would mean you had a heart
    I tried to help you out, now I know that I can't
    'Cause how you think's the kind of thing I'll never understand

    I've made some real big mistakes
    But you make the worst one look fine
    I should've known it was strange
    You only come out at night
    I used to think I was smart
    But you made me look so naïve
    The way you sold me for parts
    As you sunk your teeth into me, oh
    Bloodsucker, famefucker
    Bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire Writer/s: Daniel Nigro, Olivia Rodrigo
