lyrics

Love me and leave me
He's a leech sucking blood from my veins
When he bites me it reminds me
Of the love that you wasted away

Cause I haven't felt the fire since you
Met me at the Marylebone train
These days hatred and desire are
Essentially one in the same

“Please don't leave me alone,”
You begged, but my heart was stone cold
I might be a masochist
Cause I love it when you hurt me this way

I don’t remember a time when my
Skin was unmarred from the pain
Lovebites from leeches
Cigarette burns all the way

Up ivory thighs are the teeth marks
That are there to stay
Forever and forever at least
That's what you said that one day

“Please don't leave me alone,”
You begged, but my heart was stone cold
I might be a masochist
Cause I love it when you hurt me this way
Oh so hurt me this way

I refuse to try and fix you
The last time I did it broke me in two
These lovers or leeches are sucking me dry
I won’t let you hurt me then sit there as you cry

“Please don't leave me alone,”
You begged, but my heart was stone cold
I might be a masochist
Cause I love it when you hurt me this way
Oh so hurt me this way
