The mystery unfolds Serpent rises from the depths You put wool over my eyes Imma go collect the debt Now I know, the pain of love Is better than the bliss of its lack You sent cursed things my way Hoping I would surely crack And maybe you succeeded You succeeded for a while But Imma grab the blindfolds And I'll take them off my eyes They tried to label me Difficult, a problem child But I'll rise up from my knees And I'll reclaim what's mine! They said that my emotions Were too much for them to bear But every kindness from my side They sneered at, war I declare Now I'm starting to see What they wanted to stay hidden I'm on a path with no return Indulging in the fruit forbidden! If you've never stayed awake suicidal (You don't know what love is) If you've never cried to the point of panic attacks (You don't know what love is) If you've never been obsessed (You don't know what love is) If it never twisted a knife inside your guts (You don't know what love is) If it never ripped your heart out If it never stirred up shame Made you cover up your name You don't know what fucking love is So don't you dare to preach me here! Go ahead and test it out Watch the lukewarm lies crumble In the presence of the heat of love Now you feel really dumb, huh That's okay, we're all fools in love Running away from the one thing we want Avoiding what we know can heal us Sabotaging what can save us You're not alone, and you never were There's more like us, war we declare The truth is starting to rise up To the surface, can't make it stop! Up, up, to the top Let's shine a light Across this vast sea 'Cause yours is mine... If you've never stayed awake suicidal (You don't know what love is) If you've never cried to the point of panic attacks (You don't know what love is) If you've never been obsessed (You don't know what love is) If it never twisted a knife inside your guts (You don't know what love is) If it never ripped your heart out If it never stirred up shame Made you cover up your name You don't know what fucking love is So don't you dare to preach me here! Love always involves a risk You risk being annihilated You leap off the edge of the cliff And brace yourself for impact You risk it... but you also hope That, in the end... Someone will extend a rope. If you've never stayed awake suicidal (You don't know what love is) If you've never cried to the point of panic attacks (You don't know what love is) If you've never been obsessed (You don't know what love is) If it never twisted a knife inside your guts (You don't know what love is) If it never ripped your heart out If it never stirred up shame Made you cover up your name You don't know what fucking love is So don't you dare to preach me here! If you've never stayed awake suicidal (You don't know what love is) If you've never cried to the point of panic attacks (You don't know what love is) If you've never been obsessed (You don't know what love is) If it never twisted a knife inside your guts (You don't know what love is) If it never ripped your heart out If it never stirred up shame Made you cover up your name You don't know what fucking love is So don't you dare to preach me here! You don't know what love is You don't know what love is You don't know what love is... That's why you run away Instead of basking in its rays.
