I love you but I'm blue. I told this lie to you A thousand times. Petty crimes of a heart that wasn't true I told you what I really meant, but it was an accident I couldn't see what you'd done to me You should take it as a compliment You pressed me until I hit the ground You stretched me until I made a sound I want a lover who can love me like I'm not around I want a lover who can love me like I'm not around Wishing that I was brave. One foot in the grave And one out the door. I told you before: I can't control how I behave You glimmered in the light, and I dared to take a bite And a glance behind. Trying to find a little feeling in the night You pressed me until I hit the ground You stretched me until I made a sound I want a lover who can love me like I'm not around I want a lover who can love me like I'm not around I want a lover who can love me I want a lover who can love me I want a lover who can love me like I'm not around I want a lover who can love me I want a lover who can love me I want a lover who can love me like I'm not around And keep my temperature down You pressed me until I hit the ground You stretched me until I made a sound I want a lover who can love me like I'm not around I want a lover who can love me like I'm not around
