Love - Love is like an open hand Stings a little when it lands Hold me closer Hold me tighter Hold me so damn close that my heart's on fire It's a fantasy It's a nightmare And the whole damn world is walking round in theirs I said love - Love is like a razor blade Double edge and double pain Hold me closer Hold me tighter When i rip your flesh and the pain is fresh It's a fantasy It's a nightmare And the whole damn world doesn't seem to care I said love - Love is like a butcher knife Double sharp for single lives Hold me closer Hold me tighter As the lights go out and we start to shout It's a fantasy It's a nightmare With a big black bruise and a handful of hair I said love -
