I needed time to realize my crime
It was letting you love and steal
I did dances inside my mind
Now how can I be real
Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?
No I don t really want to hurt you
But love is always asking:
Why why why why
in my mind my memory's burning
What's your favorite color of your favorite car?
I took a step
The step was learning
But that's a step beyond a step too far
Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?
No I don't really want to hurt you
I told the truth but it was still a lie
The words are few
Some are unspoken
I could sleep for a thousand years
Man of sorrows word unbroken
His sweat like blood came down like tears
I've been talking
But believe me
I know that it's true now that there's nothing
I don't know
I'm in love and love's the reason I'm not prepared to ever let you go
So if it's love you want
Then take all of me
It's this love I want
I can finally see
Do I really want to hurt you?
Do I really want to make you cry?
Yes I suppose I want to hurt you
You told the truth but it was still a lie
