Lyrics

I'm on the chopping block Chopping off my stopping thought Self doubt and selfism Were the cheapest things I ever bought When you said it's love d'you mean the back of love? When you said it's love d'you mean the back of love? We're taken advantage of breaking the back of love We're taken advantage of breaking the back of love Easier said than done you said But it's more difficult to say With eyes bigger than our bellies We want to but we can't look away What were you thinking of when you dreamt that up? What were you thinking of when you dreamt that up? Taken advantage of breaking the back of love When you're surrounded by A simple chain of events Eventually You'll shack those shackles off We can't tell our left from right But we know we love extremes Getting to grips with the ups and downs Because there's nothing in between When you say that's love d'you mean the back of love? When you said that's love d'you mean the back of love? Taken advantage of breaking the back of love What were you thinking of when you dreamt that up? We're taken advantage of We're breaking the back of love Breaking the back of love
