I may be happy
Trying to put my poor old heart together
I may be wondering
Why those good old bad days
ever, ever had to end?

Your may be so nice
Offering me the safety of your shoulder
It's such a heavy price
'cause the more that you adore me
the cooler and the colder I get

I don't want to be loved like this
I don't want to be worshipped and kissed
I just want to hurt you till the blood runs thru
your ruby red lips

I may be happy
Trying to put my poor old heart together
I may be confident I'll never be okay
Whether you like it or not

somehow, somewhere
there is a bastard waiting for me
He will hurt me like I'm hurting you now
and I will adore him

I don't want to be loved like this
I just want to be kicked down.
