Strip me of everything
Take the meaning from life
Only then
Maybe I'll say I love you

Show me your darkest secrets
Expose yourself at my whim
Only then
Maybe I'll say I love you

It was sweet at first
A tainted well I drank
Slowly my body wasn't mine

And I looked for "love"
In all the wrong places

And believed
That a kind venom tongue
Would save me from myself

When in fact
Was the reason
I tried to **** myself
