Hurt Me

I would walk all the miles if you'd play your part,
I'd write you a song if you'd just break my heart,

I would love you forever but woman I plead,
just love me and hold me and then let me be,

I would draw you in ink if I thought it would work,
I'd buy you the ocean if you'd only hurt me,
I'd steal you a river if you'd only see,
would you love me and hold me and then let me be

I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself,
I'm a writer whose nothing if he's not in hell,
I would owe you a favour and if its all right,
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
would you love me and leave me with something to write?

I would ache to my bones from the hours I'd spend,
writing poems of loss if you'd sleep with my friends,

I would paint you a mural and ring all the bells,
if you'd please just mistreat me and put me through hell,

I would treat you like an angel and say all the things,
the loneliest poets have only dared dream,

I would love you with all of my heart if you would,
just love me and hold me and leave me for good,

I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself,
I'm a writer whose nothing if he's not in hell,
I would owe you a favour and if its all right,
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
