Cover art for Oil + Water lyrics by Majandra Delfino

alot of those lyrics are wrong. I have the cd and I took them straight from the book, and I've got this:

He lit the fire in my heart, And with the same flame burned my world down, stark. I gave him the whole entire thing. At first he gently held it And then got bored and started carving.

Love, all one needs, What I need is to try healing. And then make sure I never fall back into that feeling. Love and I, to one another never truly loyal. we don't mix to well Love flows like water, I burn like oil Yet I look around and there's all this water but none that I should drink. I notice now that I am oil and oil is all that I should think.

A tiny pin prick came little spurts of blood. A little trickle long enough can surely cause the flood. But last night he sped the process. He sliced it open then walked away and cut his losses.

Love, all one needs, What I need is to try healing. And then make sure I never fall back into that feeling. Love and I, to one another never truly loyal. we don't mix to well Love flows like water, I slip like oil Yet I look around and there's all this water but none that I should drink. I notice now that I am oil and oil is all that I should think.

So beautiful and capable of bringing me good news. Now the enemy with knives and pins looking to bruise. You fell out as quickly as you fell in. You never fell at all. I was just kidding.

Love, all one needs, What I need is to try healing. And then make sure I never fall back into that feeling. Love and I, to one another never truly loyal. we don't mix to well Love flows like water, I burn like oil And I look around and there's all this water but none that I should drink. I notice now that I am oil and oil is all that I should think.
