Love Me Like It Hurts22:56 Oct 12 2008

Yout got me right where you want me
Grabbed me right where it hurts
And if love was nothing but heartache
This thing between us could work
You've got my heart in a collar
Your fist tight around the leash
Tethered to our constant pain
Just to keep the peace
Because I've seen you when you're angry
I guess you see your death in me
Well, if you don't mind me saying
You look so peaceful when you sleep
For me closed eyelids are too thin
To keep out approaching disaster
They only pull the darkness closer
That prevents a happily ever after
So if you want to break me
Make sure you break me bad
Because I always end up crawling back to whatever it is we have
There's not much I can hold on to
And me and you aren't really nice
But no one's seen me quite the way
That I look in your eyes
Still I know that it's not love
This thing you give to me
But this beguiling passion holds me captive
And this perfect pain sets me free
I know its not really healthy
And my paper heart can't stand it
But your love is all I've known
And I can't live if I don't have it
