Love, Hate, Love

in AlbumFacelift

I tried to love you I thought I could

I tried to own you I thought I would

I want to peel the skin from your face

Before the real you lays to waste

You told me I'm the only one

Sweet little angel you should have run

Lying, crying, dying to leave

Innocence creates my hell

Cheating myself still you know more

It would be so easy with a whore

Try to understand me little girl

My twisted passion to be your world

Lost inside my sick head

I live for you but I'm not alive

Take my hand before I kill

Still love you, I still burn

Love, hate, love
