Scary love

What is love, my love?
Tell me, do you know?
To me it's dirt and blood and seed
That's how my garden grows

What is this pain inside
My veins they turn to frost
Is there an operation please
And how much does it cost?

This love is a scary love

If I had one day left to live
I'd lock the doors and windows but keep you in
If I had one day left to live
I'd wrap myself around you and breathe you in

Scary love
(Scary love)

What is love, my love?
Tell me why it burns
Like rage and fire inside of me
Yet causes no concern

I'm quite used to it
The ashes on my hands
At least I've felt the pain of love but no one understands

This love is a scary love

If I had one day left to live
I'd lock the doors and windows but keep you in
If I had one day left to live
I'd wrap myself around you and breathe you in

This love is a scary love
Blackbirds in the place of doves
Clenched fist in a velvet glove
Like a train running over us
Like being nailed to a cross

If I had one day left to live
If I had one, I'd keep you here, I'd keep you in
If I had one more day to live
I'd wrap myself around you and breathe you in
