The Nature of Love

love is like an open hand stings a little when it lands hold me closer hold me tighter hold me so damn close that my heart's on fire it's a fantasy it's a nightmare and the whole damn world is walking round in theirs I said love - love is like a razor blade double edge and double pain hold me closer hold me tighter when I rip your flesh and the pain is fresh it's a fantasy it's a nightmare and the whole damn world doesn't seem to care I said love - love is like a butcher knife double sharp for single lives hold me closer hold me tighter as the lights go out and we start to shout it's a fantasy it's a nightmare with a big black bruise and a handful of hair I said love -
