'I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good'
...
In his obsession with perfection
And battles to the bitter end
He always had the upper hand
Over compassion and affection
...
Unfinished business was his curse,
No matter what he would endeavor.
And things were getting worse and worse,
As he could finish nothing, ever.
...
Too Bad
'I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good'
Amy Winehouse. You Know I'm No Good
***
Bizarre tattoos and heavy makeup
A laugh that sounded like a cry...
But her own fate - she couldn't fake it
Too bad to live, too young to die
One big and terrible disaster
She messed up everything she could
No trouble ever made it past her
But then again, she was no good
Too often soaking wet and lonely
She'd watch with Lucy in the Sky
Those weird dreams that made it only
Too bad to live, too young to die
Her soul, it would be singing daily
And nightly - howling in the wood
Through stormy clouds and waters sailing
But then again, she was no good
She was no good, she was no angel
At best, a one-day butterfly
That day is over - she stopped aging
Too bad to live, too young to die...
