love -



love is like an open hand

stings a little when it lands

hold me closer

hold me tighter

hold me so damn close that my heart's on fire

it's a fantasy

it's a nightmare

and the whole damn world is walking round in theirs

i said love -



love is like a razor blade

double edge and double pain

hold me closer

hold me tighter

when i rip your flesh and the pain is fresh

it's a fantasy

it's a nightmare

and the whole damn world doesn't seem to care

i said love -



love is like a butcher knife

double sharp for single lives

hold me closer

hold me tighter

as the lights go out and we start to shout

it's a fantasy

it's a nightmare

with a big black bruise and a handful of hair

i said love
