Your love is like lead poison
In your hand you hold the pencil and all I can do is try to erase the marks
Scribbled etchings all over my heart
That’s the way you like it
That’s the way it’s been
It’s the same line every time
Lies that leave permanent black marks
And the story is true
I’m a fool for you
I don’t feel beautiful
I don’t feel good
I only feel bad
I just feel mad
I’m just going through the motions
There’s no lead up
There’s no foreplay
That’s the way you like it
That’s the way it’s been
I’m a blank sheet of paper
and an unwritten future is all I see
Apathetic love is written on the wall
I don’t feel beautiful
I don’t feel good
I only feel bad
I just feel mad
There’s no candles
There’s no wine
There’s no happiness
That’s the way you like it
That’s the way it’s been
In and out- down for the knockout
Over and above isn’t our love
It just isn’t intimate
Love has run the course
I don’t feel beautiful
I don’t feel good
I only feel bad
because I feel mad
