You say you're a mess
You said that you're broke
All that I see are crystal tears
Shining through these empty fears
Like poison and oak
You spread through my face
I think we're infected just the same
If there's no cure I'm here to stay

If love is pain, then set me on fire
Keep lifting me higher
In your veins
If love is pain
Then throw me in the water
When I'm going under
Save me again

They're one and the same
Freedom and pain
I've been craving the former all my life
'Cause I think it's worth the sacrifice
You're freer than most
You think it's a curse
You think you're killing me
Your venom is my medicine

If love is pain, then set me on fire
Keep lifting me higher
In your veins
If love is pain
Then throw me in the water
When I'm going under
Save me again

If love is pain, then set me on fire
Keep lifting me higher
In your veins
If love is pain
Then throw me in the water
When I'm going under
Save me again

If love is pain, then set me on fire
Keep lifting me higher
In your veins
If love is pain
Then throw me in the water
When I'm going under
Save me again
