''Go on, spill it all out'', I say to you.
And you pour your heart out to me.
Slowly at first , then all at once
Like water rushing out of an upturned bottle.

You tell me
How she left you for that other guy
Who doesn't even treat her well.
How she killed your heart.
How you gave her seven years and
It still wasn't enough.

All this I listen silently
Knowing very well
That the only way you will ever heal
Is if you pour it all out.
Knowing I'm the only
One who cares enough to listen.
So I turn myself into a sponge
To soak it all up.
The hurt, the bleeding, the woe
And the tears
Until that's all that's left in me
Until that's all I consist of.

But it hurts
Hurts so very much
To see you still love her
Love her even more now.
I guess that's just how it works,
Doesn't it?
Hurt equals love.
You love her because she hurt you
And I you, because you hurt me.
