Just take this noose around my neck
And tighten it, please hurry up
And I'd like some cyanide in a cup
These blades don't cut deep enough
And the painkillers don't make me numb
I feel much less when I look into your eyes
The medication doesn't stand a chance
How do you make me want to
Do all the things I know I'll regret
But when you smile and hypnotise me
There's so much sense I seem to forget
Suddenly you walked away and left
You left me with a noose around me neck
You grinned and promised you'd be back
How am I supposed to feel when I learn
That I've based my life on your lies
Now even water seems to burn
My thoroughly exposed nerves
Even though they've given up on me
I still hope, and I still yearn
The blood is just a simple price
I have to pay, everyday, every year
Because I need to have you near.
And tighten it, please hurry up
