Original version found on the Launch EP.
Your love is the bruise
That I wear on my heart
And it pains me to know
How you cut it apart into pieces
Your love's a disease
To ravage my body
And it soaks through my skin
As it seeps right into the creases
And how you affect me
Is how much you hurt me
The depth of emotion
Will ever desert me
Your love is a plague
Spreading out through my world
And I shudder to think
How I'm not quite immune to infection
Your love is the road
That I travel each day
And though I wish I could stay
I just can't seem to change my direction
And how much you want me
Is how often you hold me
The weight of your body
Will crush and enfold me
Your love is the madness
To torment my mind
And I think it's unkind
That you are the cause of my affliction
Your love is the needle
That I shove in my arm
And though it causes me harm
I just can't seem to break this addiction
And how you infect me
Is how you inject me
Your love is like morphine
And it gets me high
