Tragic Girl

Weezer · Other Songs - Weezer

When you kiss me, and say you love me

It makes me feel so good

I wanna break down and give in to you

I wanna believe that you're the one



Gimme my pills, and sing this strange song

And all my hurting goes away

I start to drift off with you beside me

I wanna believe that you're the one



Cry and cry and let it out

We have to face that it's over now

Even as I anoint your door

I'm looking out for something more

Cry and cry, I'm crying too

'Cause no one touches me like you do

I don't want my mom to know that I've been a dirty boy



I try my darnedest to be a bastard

I want you to think that I don't care

But I feel sorry, and you're so pretty

You start to cry and I kiss your mouth



Cry and cry and let it out

We have to face that it's over now

Even as I anoint your door

I'm looking out for something more

Cry and cry, I'm crying too

'Cause no one touches me like you do

I don't want my mom to know that I've been a dirty boy



You're a tragic girl, you lead a tragic life

I'm just meant to be your latest tragedy

This ain't no butterfly girl, this ain't no butterfly love

I'm just meant to be your latest tragedy



I try my darnedest to be a bastard

I want you to think that I don't care

But you're so pretty, and I feel sorry

I start to cry and I kiss your mouth



I don't want my mom to know that I've been a dirty boy



You're a tragic girl, you lead a tragic life

I'm just meant to be your latest tragedy

This ain't no butterfly girl, this ain't no butterfly love

I'm gonna have to be your latest tragedy

Tragic Girl

Released by Weezer in 2009, 'Tragic Girl' stands as a defining track from the band's later era, blending their signature pop-punk energy with a more mature, introspective sound. The song features the band's characteristic melodic hooks and rhythmic drive, yet it explores themes of heartbreak and emotional vulnerability that distinguish it from their earlier, more aggressive work. Recorded during the Raditude period, the track showcases the group's ability to pivot between high-energy anthems and softer, ballad-like moments, cementing their status as versatile songwriters capable of addressing complex personal narratives within the alternative rock genre.
