Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Your broad shoulders, my wet tears

You're alive and I'm still here

As some half-human creature thing

Can you bring life to anything, love?

(Take this to make you better)

(Though eventually, you'll die)

[Verse 2]

If you don't love me, don't tell me

I've never asked, "Who?" And I never asked, "Why?"

(It's such a shame)

(She used to be so delightful)

Well, whose fault is that if it wasn't mom and dad's?

(Well, it must be yours) We'll have none of that, no

[Verse 3]

Just looking for a protector

God never reached out in time

This love that is a savior

But that ain't no love of mine

[Verse 4]

My love, it kills me slowly

Slowly, I could die

And when she sleeps, she hears the blues

Sees shades of black and white

(Run, run, run away, run, run, run away)

[Verse 5]

Gotta stay cool, you hot, hot head

Count to a thousand 'fore you sleep in bed

Read the news, pass the time

Drink the juice, feeling fine

[Verse 6]

Gotta stay cool, you hot, hot head

Count to a thousand 'fore you sleep in bed

Read the news, pass the time

Drink the juice, feeling fine

[Verse 7]

(At least you're not boring)

No one wants to feel you this sad

Ooh

[Verse 8]

Just looking for a protector

God never reached out in time

This love that is your savior

But that ain't no love of mine

[Verse 9]

My love, it kills me slowly

Slowly, I could die

And when she sleeps, she hears the blues

Sees shades of black and white

[Verse 10]

Just looking for a protector

God never reached out in time

This love that is your savior

But that ain't no love of mine

[Verse 11]

My love, it kills me slowly

Slowly, I could die

And when she sleeps, she hears the blues

Sees shades of black and white
