It's like now you got me right where I want you
Restore the roles we belong to
You need to be wanted but so do I
Grant you that in the form of lies
A fucking lie, just like me
How do I put up with someone just like me
Just a fancy way of saying "I hate myself"
I can displace that hate but only with your help
Leave it up to me and I will end up in the ground
If I am the Captain, everyone will drown
Don't care about me so what does that say for others?
You're insignificant unless you are my mother
She's dead now so my heart is empty
She's dead and my hands are filthy
That's what you ought to know--I am guilty
Of being who you suspect
Never in this relationship do you get respect
Just like me, you get neglect
In the end I'll come to regret that
Very soon you won't come back
I'll beg for your return and abuse myself with burns
I hate you but, please, please don't leave
Without you I am forced to hate on me
