Lovesong

Give me a break. Stand there smiling, like it’s easy As I bash my head against the wall And the world is caving in on me Through the blood in my eyes it’s hard to see How much farther can I fall? God, let me breathe I can’t bear this cage you’ve built for me My stubborn heart is bleeding and blind and you just keep talking without sound your simple empty words crash down and echo in my mind. I promise you my pretty love… I was only joking. I didn’t mean your killing me But I can feel the sky fall down on my head. And pretty baby, please forgive me I just get vicious when I’m strangling I don’t want to fight tonight Let’s drop the pretense and play With real knives instead. Where do we go after we stop here Do not pass go, do not collect your sanity. Criticize and patronize But God, don’t change your mind. I promise you, my pretty love I was only joking. I didn’t mean your killing me But I can feel the sky fall down on my head. And pretty baby, please forgive me I just get vicious when I’m strangling I don’t want to fight tonight Let’s drop the pretense and play With real knives instead. But God, don’t change your mind. I promise you my pretty love… I was only joking. I didn’t mean your killing me But I can feel the sky falling on my head. And pretty baby, please forgive me I just get vicious when I’m strangling I don’t want to fight tonight Let’s drop the pretense and play With real knives instead. First I’m right and then I’m wrong A thousand times I’ve heard this song. You say it’s fine But I can see the nothing in your eyes. I promise you my pretty love… I was only joking. I didn’t mean your killing me But I can feel the sky falling on my head. And pretty baby, please forgive me I just get vicious when I’m strangling I don’t want to fight tonight Let’s drop the pretense and play With real knives instead. First I’m wrong and then I’m right I’d rather die than fight tonight. And yeah, I know It’s nothing, nothing, nothing Once again.
