Sweet Hurt

The scab on my sunlit back
Had torn wings growing from it
I dug at the wound to check
It’s still bleeding red

An atelier stained by broken vows
Just meeting you was enough
And I crumbled away

So sweet and painful, too much to swallow
Let’s name this first feeling after you
So faint and fragile, it might just melt away
If it’s all going to end
I’ll give you my life

This white, square hospital room
Is like sugar that won’t crumble
Wrapped in the scent of anesthesia
I kept my eyes closed

In the hotel, my pulse quickens
This illness that no medicine can cure
Is what we call love, I guess

So sweet and painful, poisoned honey
Like a moth drawn to you, I’m being consumed
So soft and frayed, I might just flow away
Before I wither and fade
I’ll give you my life

So it won’t disappear, so it can’t be erased
Touch me with those hands, hurt me, stain me
If it’s possible, please, please
Let’s share this sin, this punishment, all of it

So sweet and painful, too much to swallow
Let’s name this first feeling after you

So faint and fragile, it might just melt away
If it’s all going to end
I’ll give you my life
If I’m going to wither away
I’ll give you my life
I’ll give everything to you, who gave me this love

I’ll give you my life
