It was what it never was
It is what it's always been
Love

The carbon monoxide didn't kill us
But love nearly did
You wanted a ride in an ambulance
Well you got it kid

She's a silent killer, love
She'll steal you in your sleep
She's a thick and heavy glove
And your insides start to bleed

Love burns, love bites
Loves got the madness in her eyes
Love cuts, love cries
Loves no red rose, she's a steely knife
Love stings, love lies
Love aches, love dies
Love's a sniper smiling wide
Love laced your cake with cyanide

That night at the windmill
You knew I'd be trouble
Two valentines on either side
Or were you just seeing double?

She's a broken bottle, love
Pressed up against your neck
She's a bar fight, she's a handcuff
Love wishes you were dead

Love burns, love bites
Loves got the madness in her eyes
Love cuts, love cries
Loves no red rose, she's a steely knife
Love stings, love lies
Love aches, love dies
Love's a sniper smiling wide
Love laced your cake with cyanide

Since you left the flat
I've been sleeping upside down like a bat
They fixed the leaking boiler
But now the walls went black
I wish you'd come back, please come back

The heavens below
The hell above
The kiss of death
And the bite of love
