I never wanted us to wear thin
I didn't want to be the cause of this harm
But I could never break my own skin
And let the blood spill into open arms
You are a pain in my chest,
The softest thorn in my side,
The perfect sort of heartache
And I don't want to watch my severed heart break
I don't want to watch my severed heart break,
But I'm only going to hurt you
I'm going to hurt you
You have a certain kind of sadness
When you know that you will end up in tears,
But it's the way that this will happen -
This is the way that I will break you, my dear
I didn't want to be alone again
I didn't want us to untie in this way
I never want to be alone again,
So I hope that you believe me when I say
You are a pain in my chest,
The softest thorn in my side,
The perfect sort of heartache
And I don't want to watch my severed heart break
