  • It's understood, you'll be a man
    By the time I'll see you
    We've been through better days
    And you've tasted all my pain

    Break my legs so I won't walk to you
    Cut my tongue so I can't talk to you
    Burn my skin so I can't feel you
    Stab my eyes so I can't see

    You like it when I let you walk over me
    You tell me that you like it
    Your love is killing me

    Try to tell you this when I'm sober
    How I feel about loving you
    Try to remember all the turn of events
    Being led by our own fantasies, fantasies

    Break my legs so I won't walk to you
    Cut my tongue so I can't talk to you
    Burn my skin so I can't feel you
    Stab my eyes so I can't see

    You like it when I let you walk over me
    You tell me that you like it
    When our minds become diseased

    There, he let it go, his temper, standing there
    See her with his gun and he, steals love so he can feel alive
    Everyone's knees knockin' at the fear of love, taste blood
    Everybody needs to feel

    Break my legs so I won't run to you
    Steal my soul so I am one with you
    From a distance I am onto you
    But I'll stab my eyes out so I can't see

    You like it
    When I let you walk over me
    You tell me that you like it
    You love me as you torture me
    You tell me that you like it
    But I won't let you see
    All that I can do's what I can
    With this pain you've given me
    With this pain you've given me
    Your love is killing me
    Yes, all your pain is killing me Writer/s: Sharon Van Etten
