I don't love you anymore

A pretty line that I adore

Five words that I've heard before.

'cause you keep me on a rope

And tied a noose around my throat

You're gone, then back at my door.

'cause if you're gonna leave

Better leave, better do it fast

Can't live a little longer

Sitting on your lap.

'cause you know what you're doing

When you're coming back

And I don't want to have

Another heart attack.

Oh, I can't be

Your lover on a leash

Every other week

When you please.

Oh, I can't be

The kiss that you don't need

The lie between your teeth

The cut that always bleeds

The cut that always bleeds.

Say you love somebody new

And beat my heart, to black and blue

Then they leave, and it's me

You come back to.

To say you loved me all along

And kiss the bruises 'til they're gone

Bittersweet, 'cause I can't breathe

Inside your arms.

'cause if you're gonna leave

Better leave, better do it fast

Can't live another minute

Bleeding from my back

'cause I don't have another one

For you to stab

And I don't want to have

Another heart attack.

Oh, I can't be

Your lover on a leash

Every other week

When you please...

Oh, I can't be

The kiss that you don't need

The lie between your teeth

The cut that always bleeds

The cut that always bleeds.

But even though you're killing me

I, I need you like the air I breathe

I need, I need you more than me

I need you more than anything

Please, please...

'cause I could be

Your lover on a leash

Every other week

When you please.

Oh, I could be

Anything you need

As long as you don't leave

The cut that always.
