lyrics

My mouth is a razorblade,
And the words I say,
They cut and they maim.
And as soon as I say the words I shouldn’t say,
I push the knife,
And I turn and twist again.


That’s why love is a four-letter word
That I won’t say.
‘Cause it feels so good,
But it will leave eventually.
And it hurts when it goes,
But you know it could not stay.
Yeah, it will hurt when you go,
But I’ll love you anyway.

Your heart,
It bleeds with every passing beat.
But you’re too sweet,
To throw my violence back at me.
And this love is a battle
For what’s left of my heart
I guess I should have told you from the start

That love is a four-letter word
That I won’t say.
‘Cause it feels so damn good,
But it will leave eventually.
And it hurts when it goes,
But you know it could not stay.
Yeah, it will hurt when you go
But I’ll love you anyway.
It’ll hurt when you go,
But I’ll love you anyway.
