lyrics

I don’t really wanna love you, but I know I should
I don’t really wanna love you, darling,
Even though people say it’ll make me feel good

Cause the tension’s all I’ve ever known, it’s how I’ve grown
And I find it easier to give in to the nasty thoughts
That cloud and rot my fragile skin

But I know I should love you, so I’m going to learn
To think the very highest of you, gonna make sure our love burns
I know I should care about how you feel
And where you wanna go
What mood you’re in, if you’re high or if you’re low
Oh I think that I could be all that I need for me if I tried

But I don’t wanna love you, I feel it in my bones
I never quite fit in the skin that I’m in,
Never felt like my home
Even though the bills and magazines were all addressed to me
I could not shake the thought
That I’d be found to be locked out without a key -- a fraud

But I know I should love you, so I’m going to learn
To think the very highest of you, gonna make sure our love burns
I’m gonna care about how you feel and where you wanna go,
What mood you’re in, if you’re high or if you’re low,
Oh I think that I could be all that I need for me if I try
