[Verse 1]
I don't want your love
I want your pain
It's all I know
When you say my name
You love me too clean
For a mouth fed on glass
I taste that shine
And it cuts me back
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold me rough
Hold me wrong
I can't stay soft
For that long
Say it plain
Let it sting
I need the crack
In everything
[Chorus]
I want your pain
I want your pain
Not your gentle hands
Not your pretty name
I want your pain
I want your pain
Rather be shredded by a stranger
Than feel alone again
[Verse 2]
You look right through
Like I might break
I wear that hurt
Like a chain I make
I don't need sweet
I need the knife
If love's a door
Then shut it tight
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold me rough
Hold me wrong
I can't stay soft
For that long
Say it plain
Let it sting
I need the crack
In everything
[Chorus]
I want your pain
I want your pain
Not your gentle hands
Not your pretty name
I want your pain
I want your pain
Rather be shredded by a stranger
Than feel alone again
[Bridge]
If you see me
Don't make me whole
I built my heart
From broken old bones
Give me the edge
Give me the burn
I come alive
When the tables turn
[Chorus]
I want your pain
I want your pain
Not your gentle hands
Not your pretty name
I want your pain
I want your pain
Rather be shredded by a stranger
Than feel alone again
