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-
