The Cut That Always Bleeds

I don′t love you anymore
A pretty line that I adore
Five words that I've heard before′Cause you keep me on a rope
And tied a noose around my throat
You're gone, then back at my door

'Cause if you′re gonna leave, better leave, better do it fast
Can′t live a little longer sitting on your lap
'Cause you know what you′re doin' when you′re comin' back
And I don′t wanna have another heart attack

Oh, I can't be your lover on a leash
Every other week, when you please
Oh, I can't be the kiss that you don′t need
The lie between your teeth

The cut that always bleeds
(Ah-ah-ah)
The cut that always bleeds
(Ah-ah-ah)

Say you love somebody new
Then beat my heart to black and blue
Then they leave, and it′s me you come back to (Ah-ah)
To say you loved me all along
And kiss the bruises 'til they′re gone
Bittersweet, 'cause I can′t breathe inside your arms

'Cause if you′re gonna leave, better leave, better do it fast
Can't live another minute bleedin' from my back
′Cause I don′t have another one for you to stab
And I don't wanna have another heart attack

Oh, I can′t be your lover on a leash
Every other week, when you please
Oh, I can't be the kiss that you don′t need
The lie between your teeth

The cut that always bleeds
(Ah-ah-ah)
The cut that always bleeds
(Ah-ah-ah)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh) But even though you're killing me, yeah
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) I need you like the air I breathe
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) I need, I need you more than me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) I need you more than anything
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Please, please

′Cause I could be your lover on a leash
Every other week, when you please
Oh, I could be anything you need
As long as you don't leave
The cut that always
