* DestructiveRomance: Werewolf could be the theme-song:
-->I could liken you to a werewolf, the way you left me for dead\\
But I admit, that I provided a full moon\\
And I could liken you to a shark, the way you bit off my head\\
But then again I was waving around a bleeding open wound\\
But you were such a super guy, 'til the second you get a wiff of me\\
We're like a wishing well and a bolt of electricity\\
But we can still support each other, all we gotta do is avoid each other\\
Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key...
