Good Girl Going Bad

Every time things don't work out
I take my good girl potion out
and I began to extract some more
adding extra toxins to the formula 
It's like you take a blow to my morals
and make me want to rewrite them
 
                   Everytime you cheat 
                   a little part of me seeps
                   to the floor and never returns

Everytime you break my heart
I pour half the contents out
and add bad girl flavors 
to satisfy this big hole that feeds
on me being out of control
 
                           Everytime you use me
                           my good girl potion turns red
                          it makes me think about using 
                          you and everyone else just the same
 
            Everytime you do something wrong
            I question why I behave so good for you
            It won't be long before I pour the whole
            contents of the potion down the drain
            By than you'd have lost the good girl in me
                         and i'd never be the same again 
                             I'd be gone for good
