If you could burn it out
Like a tick buried in your hide
If you could tear it out

Like a thorn stuck in your side
Then you can bet that I
Don't want to look at what you find

Because I'm afraid that I
Might want to keep it for myself


I thought I was above you
I hate that I love you


If you could tell a lie
Sharp enough to get through my skin
If you could sell a lie

To make me want to come back again
Then you can bet that I
Want to feel it dribble down my chin

Sometimes I think I'd give everything away
To let that animal in


I thought I was above you
I hate that I love you
