If it’s too good to be true,
Then it doesn’t hurt enough
Yeah if it’s too good to be true,
Then it doesn’t hurt… hurt like love…
Hurt, hurt like love
Hurt like love
Hurt, hurt like love
A little salt in the wound, let’s me know this is real
A bit of hurt let’s me know I can feel.
A little bitter with the sweet keeps me out of the clouds
An ounce of pain keeps my feet on the ground
If it’s too good to be true,
Then it doesn’t hurt enough
Yeah if it’s too good to be true,
Then it doesn’t hurt… hurt like love…
Hurt, hurt like love
Hurt like love
Hurt, hurt like love
A pinch of lies worked in with the truth,
keeps me looking for the proof.
Heated friction catching on the smooth,
Keeps me... keeps me dealin’ with you.
If it’s too good to be true,
Then it doesn’t hurt enough
Yeah if it’s too good to be true,
Then it doesn’t hurt… hurt like love…
Hurt, hurt like love
Hurt like love
Hurt, hurt like love

Bitter. Bitter Sweetness.

You keep it down, buttoned up… It’ll never see the light of day
Round ‘n round, nipped and tucked You keep it locked away
Your lies, your lies, it’s a bitter, bitter sweetness
Your lies, your lies, they keep me warm
Your lies, your lies, tuck me in at night
Your lies, your lies, they keep me warm
Is it easy to feel good about yourself when you shoot down everyone around you
You’re the sore thumb on the kid gloves I’ll bet your don’t even notice
Your lies, your lies, it’s a bitter, bitter sweetness
Your lies, your lies, they keep me warm
Your lies, your lies, tuck me in at night
Your lies, your lies, they keep me warm
The truth can’t save what your eyes betray
There’s no fixin’ what’s meant to be broke
Fractured promises will never know just how this feels
You can’t self help somebody else
Your lies, your lies, it’s a bitter, bitter sweetness
Your lies, your lies, they keep me warm
Your lies, your lies, tuck me in at night
Your lies, your lies, they keep me warm

Tender Boy

Looking up from the bottom of the well
It’s a bit murky down here
You send a lifeline
But is it just another tease?
Through all the screaming and all the noise
While deep inside you’re just a tender boy,
You stress me into something I don’t want to be
But I… I still love you
Go on abuse me one more time
Slap me with your words
Insanity’s bred in your bloodline
And now I’ve passed it on
Through all the screaming and all the noise
While deep inside you’re just a tender boy,
You stress me into something I don’t want to be
But I… I still love you
I still love you
Now I wasn’t looking for the easy road
But you make it so damn hard
I’m so busy sweeping up your mess
While you’re planting more landmines
Through all the screaming and all the noise
While deep inside you’re just a tender boy,
You stress me into something I don’t want to be
But I… I still love you
This doesn’t need to be a hit song
I just need to get this off my chest
Please don’t try to be perfect
You just need to do you best.
Through all the screaming and all the noise
While deep inside you’re just a tender boy,
You stress me into something I don’t want to be
But I… I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
I still love you

So We Can Move On

The burdens of being upright, is to carry that heavy load
As it weighs upon my soul
But here we are, revisiting the past
I thought I had this all under control
You need to know, I did everything I could
Everything to protect you
But I was wrong, I was wrong
Can you forgive me? So we can move on.
So we can move on.
Here I am, an empty man
Just hoping to become
Admitting is half the battle. But It feels as helpless
as an empty gun
When truth was stretched, manipulated and forgotten in time
The honesty hurts more than lies
A jab, a punch, an atomic bomb.
You’ll do anything to survive.
The mirror reminds me, in subtle ways
Of the burdens that I keep
The shadows behind, my every step
And the dangers, with which I sleep.
But I was wrong, I was wrong.
Can you forgive me, so we can move on.

Sexy Is Revenge

It’s not a donation, if you forced it away from me
if you have to rape to get it, you Can’t pass it off as charity,
Now I’m stuck paying the price for your free advice that left you misled
I would have asked for a miracle, instead I wished you were dead.
How sexy is revenge.
Sexy is revenge
How sexy is revenge
A look over the shoulder a shadow out of place,
A breeze in the wind, a whisper just out of reach.
Yeah, I know I should not feel this way
But there’s something about it, that just feels so damn great.
How sexy is revenge
Sexy is revenge
Sexy is revenge
So sexy is revenge
I’m not ready to forget
And I’ll never forgive
No I’m not ready to forget
And I’ll… I’ll never forgive… How sexy is revenge.
Call it karma, call it fate, why don’t we call it by it’s real name
When you cheat and lie, it’s just a matter of time, before it all comes back to you.
Your grave’s not deep enough to make this go away
And I will not let these tears go to waste.
How Sexy is revenge
Sexy is revenge
Sexy is revenge
So sexy is revenge
I’m not ready to forget
I’ll never forgive
Not ready to forget
And I’ll… I’ll never forgive… How sexy is revenge.
How sexy is revenge
