Lyrics

Dear Lover

Yeah, loving
Over and over again now
It ain't nothing, girl
'Til you've felt the pain

Up against the wall
Why does love always have to hurt?
Your scratches run across my back
And then a tear

Dear lover
I can't take the pain no more
Dear lover
I pick my heart up from the floor

Dear lover
I can't believe it's come to this
Dear lover
Give me one last painful kiss

There ain't nothin'
In this world for free now
So how high of a price
Will you pay?

Hear the screams so loud
Wake up to the broken glass
It's a scene from bad to worse
And many more tears

Dear lover
I can't take the pain no more
Dear lover
I pick my heart up from the floor

Dear lover
I can't believe it's come to this
Dear lover
Give me one last painful kiss

Dear lover
I can't take the pain no more
Dear lover
I pick my heart up from the floor

Dear lover
I can't believe it's come to this
Dear lover
Give me one last painful kiss

One last kiss
One last kiss
One last kiss
