Hunter Lyrics

This is the story of a girl

The story of her world

In which she lived all by herself

Until she met a boy

Who gave her all his love

But she broke his heart and now she lives in hell

And some might think it's sad

They might even feel bad

But they don't know the truth and they never will

Don't tell them you had class

At least I'll admit that

Thought I had burned all your things

But there's still a knife in my back

Pretty and popular

With your binoculars

You seek your targets with lethal precision

You try to take me out

My dear what's that about

This doesn't seem like the actions of a christian

I should have listened to your sister when she told me to run

‘Cause watching crashes from the back seat is never as much fun

And it's so sad to watch you lower your standards

And maybe someday

I'll get over you

And I won't have to write these mean songs to get me through

But until that day comes

Just let me have my fun

Remember me for who I was and not who I become

If this is really how it ends then don't you cry

You know I thought I taught you better, better than that

If he's the best you've ever had, then what am I

I guess you never thought I'd make it out alive

I'd like to say I'll stay the night, just like I used to

But this time I fear for my life

[Interview sample]

And so began the war

To settle all the scores

She had with the boy she once called her own

But little did she know

The way the story goes

The two of them were born just to die alone

Shots fired in every direction

You fight to prove that you're worth my attention

Well now you've got it babe, is this what you wanted

‘Cause this house isn't worth as much if it's haunted

You should have listened to your friends when they said you would lose

‘Cause burning bridges when you're on them is never a smart move

And you're so mad that I won't come crawling back anymore

No, I've learned from that

And maybe someday you won't be so alone

You'll find a man who's just as broken to call your own

But until that day comes, just let me have my fun

And don't forget who loved you first before you came undone

If this is really how it ends then don't you cry

You know I thought I taught you better, better than that

If he's the best you've ever had, then what am I

I guess you never thought I'd make it out alive

[Interview sample]

And when you tell them your twisted version of the truth

Remember without me there wouldn't be a you

He's the hunter and you are the prey

You're just another American tragedy
