lyrics

I need your pain to hurt me
[No-one cares]
I need your pain to remind me I’m bad

I need your love to inflame me
[No-one loves me]
I need your love to inflict honours mad

And I need your time to reflect on me
[I won’t be missed]
I need your time to reflect on where we go from here

I need your words to defrost me
[I’m fine]
I need your words to insist that I am still in here somewhere

I need your joy to sustain me
I need your joy to feed a crumb of self-worth
[That I’ll ignore anyway]


I need your heart just to beat me
[What’s the point?]
I need your heart to release me from these bonds

I need your style to mould me
[Everyone hates me anyway]
I need your style to arrest this aching thought, mmmm

I need your truth to torture me
[I don’t have an real friends]
I need your truth to deconstruct all that I am
and will ever be

La la la la la la la la la la la lah

I need your fear to label me
[Just push everyone away]
I need your fear to tell me who you see me as

I need your tears to move me
[I’m not good enough]
I need your tears to drive me to the stars

I need your hate, it’s to shame me
[It’s better this way]
I need your hate to validate what I feel

I need your pain, I deserve it
[I can’t go on anymore]
I need your pain to remind me I’m sad
