[Verse 1] You came home with a torn sleeve And bruises under your dress I saw the red on your cheek And I knew what came next I found him by the canal I left his pride in the reeds You looked at me like a storm I thought I brought you relief [Pre-Chorus] I laid the world at your feet With the bones of the ones who lied I thought a love like mine Would make your fear subside [Chorus] I only wanted you I only wanted you Why do you run from me? I only wanted you I fixed what made you bleed I only wanted you [Verse 2] I brought you a black silk scarf A ring with a green glass eye I put the boys in the ditch Who laughed when you said goodbye I hissed through the keyhole once When he called you out in the rain I thought my mercy was gold You called it a name [Pre-Chorus] I laid the world at your feet With the bones of the ones who lied I thought a love like mine Would make your fear subside [Chorus] I only wanted you I only wanted you Why do you run from me? I only wanted you I fixed what made you bleed I only wanted you [Bridge] Tell me the rules of your heart Tell me what I got wrong I can be soft as a dove I can be still all night long But when you shake in my arms I hear the fear in your breath And I don't know how to be Anything else but death [Final Chorus] I only wanted you I only wanted you Why do you run from me? I only wanted you I fixed what made you bleed I only wanted you I only wanted you I only wanted you
