[Verse 1]
I tried to love you, I thought I could
I tried to own you, I thought I would
I want to peel the skin from your face
Before the real you lays to waste
[Verse 2]
You told me I'm the only one
Sweet little angel, you should have run
Lying, crying, dying to leave
Innocence creates my hell
[Verse 3]
Cheating myself, still, you know more
It would be so easy with a whore
Try to understand me, little girl
My twisted passion to be your world
[Verse 4]
Lost inside my sick head
I live for you but I'm not alive
Take my hands before I kill
I still love you, but I still burn
[Outro]
Yeah, love, hate, love
Yeah, love, hate, love
Yeah, love, hate, love
Ooh, love, hate, love
Yeah, love, hate, love
I tried to love you, I thought I could
I tried to own you, I thought I would
I want to peel the skin from your face
Before the real you lays to waste
[Verse 2]
You told me I'm the only one
Sweet little angel, you should have run
Lying, crying, dying to leave
Innocence creates my hell
[Verse 3]
Cheating myself, still, you know more
It would be so easy with a whore
Try to understand me, little girl
My twisted passion to be your world
[Verse 4]
Lost inside my sick head
I live for you but I'm not alive
Take my hands before I kill
I still love you, but I still burn
[Outro]
Yeah, love, hate, love
Yeah, love, hate, love
Yeah, love, hate, love
Ooh, love, hate, love
Yeah, love, hate, love
