The Cut That Always Bleeds

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 doin' when you're comin' back

And I don't wanna 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 (ah)

The cut that always bleeds (ah)

Say you love somebody new

Then beat my heart to black and blue

Then they leave, and it's me you come back to (ah)

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 bleedin' from my back

'Cause I don't have another one for you to stab

And I don't wanna 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 (ah)

The cut that always bleeds (ah)

(Ooh) but even though you're killing me, yeah

(Ooh) I need you like the air I breathe

(Ooh) I need, I need you more than me

I need you more than anything

(Ooh) 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-
