Hurt Me

I would walk all the miles if you'd play your part

I'd write you a song if you just break my heart

I would love you forever but woman I plead

Just love me and hold me and then let me be

I would draw you in ink if I thought it would work

I'd buy you the ocean if you'd only hurt me

I'd steal you a river if you'd only see

Would you love me then hold me then let me be

I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself

I'm a writer who's nothing if he's not in hell

I'd owe you a favour and if it's alright

Would you love me and leave me with something to write

Would you love me and leave me with something to write

Well I would ache to my bones from the hours I'd spend

Writing poems of loss if you sleep with my friends

I would paint you a mural and ring all the bells

If you'd please just mistreat me and put me through hell

Well I would treat you like an angel and say all the things

The loneliest poets have only dared dream

I would love you with all of my heart if you would

Just love me and hold me then leave me for good

I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself

I'm a writer who's nothing if he's not in hell

I would owe you a favour and if its alright

Would you love me and leave me with something to write
