TO JFK, FROM MARILYN

it was so easy at the beginning, i know you like the back of my hands
we shared the same trailblazer burden trying to make it in wonderland
you told me about your hopes and dreams and fears
i took your words i thought you were sincere

but i should have known better than to tear my guard down and let you in the way i did
and i wrote you this letter to tell you i take part of the blame for this pain
it wasn't all you because i should have known better

i wrote my name in scarlet letters, blinded by your wings and feathers
traded the sun for stormy weather when i wait for you to leave her
i believed i was the only one to know you better than anyone

but i should have known better than to tear my guard down and let you in the way i did
and i wrote you this letter to tell you i take part of the blame for this pain
it wasn't all you because i should have known better

i was lost when he found me, i looked strong but i can't breathe
you're one mistake that i regret and the memories i can't forget

Should've Known Better

To jfk, fROm mArilYn

(The term "smoking gun" is a reference to an object or fact that serves as conclusive evidence of a crime or similar act. so in a pool of evidence - or in this case, girls- i'm the one who called you out on your wrongdoing)

nowadays you carry around a can of Greendsand everywhere you go
i bet you think you're [C]ool for doing so when truth is that's all you can afford
i wonder if you still think of H&M as a fancy store
and that fake Converse you used to flaunt do you still keep it in your home?

i told you i'm not like the othe[R]s
i've always been braver, i've always been stronger
i'm a renegade i won't hide, i won't run
i'll be the smoking gun

can't help but laugh when i found out you can't pronounce "vintage" until you asked me
you like to say you live in the fast lane when all you did was driving recklessly
[B]lack Label band t-shirt and short cargo pants sure looks cool if you're 13
and you gotta sto[P] tricking girls into playing a game they can't win

i told you i'm not like the others
i've always been braver, i've always been stronger
i'm a renegade i won't hide, i won't run
i'll be the smoking gun

it's too late now to regret what you have done to me
but don't worry about your secrets, they are safe with me

i told you i'm not like the others
i've always been braver, i've always been stronger
i'm a renegade i won't hide, i won't run
i'll be the smoking gun

Smoking Gun

Dear Old Friend

((it sure was tempting))

something about hotel chandeliers
that makes me feel lonely
something about your navy blue jacket 
that makes me feel dizzy

oh i probably shouldn't smile your way
probably shouldn't play with my hair
the way that i did
when i'm talking to you

fine wine
got me standing in bad positions
fine wine
got me making some bad decisions

the rush that comes with knowing
overpower me, intoxicating
and i forgot how to think
fine wine

something about the touch of your hand
in this dimly lit room
something about  your high beam smile
in that picture i took

oh i probably shouldn't smile when i
read your text at 9.41
it's late at night and i lost my mind

fine wine
got me standing in bad positions
fine wine
got me making some bad decisions

the rush that comes with knowing
overpower me, intoxicating
and i forgot how to think
fine wine

you don't have to play any game
i'm already hooked
i know that this is bad
but you look Good

Fine Wine

((i no longer wish you hell, i almost wish you well))

i'm not heRe to start a war
i left my smoking gun at home
you don't have to try to find a hidden message in this song
because darling there is none

the truth is
i'm not the same
i danced in the flame
made it through the rain
what you did
i'll never forget
but it's time to make amends

now i just want to be good
because i'm feeling good
i'm doing good
i hope you're out there doing good
hope you're doing good
hope you're doing good

i can still recall each night
every word you said under that street light
and how could i forget the way you held me in your arms
when i was crying, babe

and i know we won't be the same
we burnt down in flames
but we'll find a way
to leave it all behind us
we'll smile and be okay

now i just want to be good
because i'm feeling good
i'm doing good
i hope you're out there doing good
hope you're doing good
hope you're doing good

Good

((Rei, Dita, Adi))

one's a flirt with a delicate heart
he writes poems yet keeps his guard

one's a joker who brights up your day
her walls are high but she means what she says

one's a heartbreaker who smiles at their aftermath
he's ready for forever, he wants to take a leap of faith

one's a fool who never learned her lesson
she's got a new man she'll be missing

gathered by some divine happenstance
here we are

got some growing up to do, we know
but it can wait until tomorrow
as for tonight
we'll stay juvenile

a flirt, a joker, a fool and a heartbreaker
we'll be at that cafe on a wednesday
see if you can find us, see if you can join us
we'll be at that cafe
we'll be the ones who stay

got some growing up to do, we know
but it can wait until tomorrow
as for tonight
we'll stay juvenile
