Nature of Love

Love -

Love is like an open hand
Stings a little when it lands
Hold me closer
Hold me tighter
Hold me so damn close that my heart's on fire
It's a fantasy
It's a nightmare
And the whole damn world is walking round in theirs
I said love -

Love is like a razor blade
Double edge and double pain
Hold me closer
Hold me tighter
When i rip your flesh and the pain is fresh
It's a fantasy
It's a nightmare
And the whole damn world doesn't seem to care
I said love -

Love is like a butcher knife
Double sharp for single lives
Hold me closer
Hold me tighter
As the lights go out and we start to shout
It's a fantasy
It's a nightmare
With a big black bruise and a handful of hair
I said love -
