I'd like to tell you that I'm reading you a love story
But I'm only reading you a bill
For everything that you took away from me
And the way you made me feel

Sacrifice, it's give and take
It's all part of the deal

You might say your love was fake
But I know mine was real

Ain't nothing but love, love
Don't tell me that you love me when we both know it isn't true
Ain't nothing but love, love
Everybody knows that a bad love ain't no good for you

Slashing through our fears with your solitaire blade
Cutting pour connection right in two
Sleeping on the bed where all our promises were made
I thought that you'd be there to see them through

Try to balance both our hearts along this wicked knife
How much blood can we both lose and make it through the night?

Ain't nothing but love, love
Don't tell me that you love me when we both know it isn't true
Ain't nobody but love, love
Everybody knows that a bad love ain't no good for you

Oh my love
