The 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...
