Young, Wild, and Wrecked

[Verse 1]
I still taste that Tuesday
Ashtray mouth
Your cracked laugh
You said you “needed breathing room”
Then packed it in a black bag
Fast
You tossed our pictures in the sink
Watched the ink bleed out my face
You said you’d call me “when you’re clean”
Like I was some contagious case
[Chorus]
I was young
And wild
And free
You were smoke in my lungs
You were rotting my teeth
You called it love while you poisoned me
Now I’m clawing my way out of your gravity
Young
And wild
And wrecked
From the day that you threw our love off the edge
I’m tired of trying to be decent in a war zone bed
Young
And wild
And wrecked
[Verse 2]
You drank first
Then you cursed
Punched holes through every door
Said I “made you feel too much”
Then left me crying on the floor
Friends said
“man
That’s just her style”
Like cruelty was some cool trend
I kept patching up the drywall
You kept breaking me again
[Chorus]
I was young
And wild
And free
You were smoke in my lungs
You were rotting my teeth
You called it love while you poisoned me
Now I’m clawing my way out of your gravity
Young
And wild
And wrecked
From the day that you threw our love off the edge
I’m tired of trying to be decent in a war zone bed
Young
And wild
And wrecked
[Bridge]
I’m done saying sorry
For scars you carved in me (hey)
I’m done playing therapist
To your twisted history
You threw our love out
Like trash on the curb
Now I’m dancing in the ruins
Screaming every broken word (ooh)
[Chorus]
Now I’m young
And wild
And free
Got your venom out my veins
Got you off of my sheets
You called it love while you strangled me
But I cut the cord
Now you’re a bad memory
Young
And wild
And wrecked
But I’m walking out clean from your beautiful mess
It’s hard being decent when your heart’s in shreds
Still young
Still wild
But free from you instead

rock, Raw 90s-style grunge: overdriven power chords, gritty male vocals, roomy live drums. Verse guitars sit in a tense, palm-muted churn; chorus explodes with open chords and shout-along hook. Brief feedback swell into a middle-8 breakdown, then a final chorus with doubled vocals and a ragged, cathartic outro., grunge
