Record the words to heal the hurt
I don't know why I bother
With your lusty hate and bitter taste
Of lives you somehow captivate,
You say you want me, say you care
Before I run away with you
I want to see, I want to share
Something else besides the truth
I say you're dead
You know you're dead
So why are you still killing me,
Cure me, reassure me of this
Hard-hearted death disease,

Why are you haunting me,
Could you make this any worse,
Why do you follow me
Like a lovely lonely curse
Why are you tempting me,
Why do I talk to ghosts
Why can't I stay away
From the thing that hurts me most?

I remember that December,
When I loved the boy he thought I knew,
Pulling you up from broken hearts
And slicing through the gloom
To prove to you you're worth it,
Why do I even bother
With the life I give you every day
When all you do is smother

Why are you haunting me,
Could you make this any worse,
Why do you follow me
Like a lovely lonely curse
Why are you tempting me,
Why do I talk to ghosts
Why can't I stay away
From the thing that hurts me most?

I'll be climbing to the clouds we hold above us,
Lay upon them just to try to make it rain all over you,
If I could drench you in the hurt you've sent,
If I could give you all I knew
Of heartache and desire,
Of the lies I know are true,
Would you forget you ever wanted me?
Would you try to let me go?
And what of all your smiles
When we're not talking deep
Of death and love and I-hate-you's
Stay with me a while
Because I love to love you hating me
My hard-hearted death disease
