Lyrics from Live Performance


Intro:

Mmm, what's worse, the—

What's worse to you? Oh-oh

What's worse?

Mmm


Verse 1:

What's worse, the carry or the curse?

She was paired with a maniac and married on the first

It was much worse than anyone could tell

But he couldn't stick it out so he ended up in jail

It was eight months and twenty-seven days

And when he got out, he told her, "We should go our separate ways"

And the whole world learned about a tape he had recorded

They gavе a bunch of money to the maniac, a fortune


Verse 2:

What's worsе, the lonely or the fame?

He got everything he wanted and now everything's the same

Much worse when he was back in jail

But the feeling wasn't different so he really couldn't tell

'Til the girl showed up and changed it

She had braids in her hair, old age in her stare

But she came to a realization

That his heart was in love but his brain wasn't there, and then


Verse 3:

Yeah, and so the maniac drank as the maniac does

And he did the same shit with the same exact drugs

It went on for a while, 'bout seven-eight months

And the girl got tired as anyone does

She showed up and she changed him

She was brave and she cared for the boy who was scared

But he came to a realization

If it didn't stop now, then it wouldn't stop there, and then
