What is Love
Redden my cheeks
Bloody my nose
Your knuckles will bleed
Before my love goes
Blacken my eyes
Ribs so violet
Oh but my heart
still desires it
Until my knees
Can hold me no longer
I will always be there
So you might be stronger
But when you're called
To fulfill your pact
Why do you stay
And refuse to act
What is love
When you choose to hurt me
When I stand by you
But you always shun me
Bloody my nose
Your knuckles will bleed
Before my love goes
Blacken my eyes
Ribs so violet
Oh but my heart
still desires it
Until my knees
Can hold me no longer
I will always be there
So you might be stronger
But when you're called
To fulfill your pact
Why do you stay
And refuse to act
What is love
When you choose to hurt me
When I stand by you
But you always shun me
