lyrics

Hi ... so you're home. Are you happy today?
I get nervous alone, scared that you'll make me pay
You don't tell me in words. You never could say
Why you have to be cruel when you love me this way

I don't want to feel the firm slap of your hand, the kiss of your kick,
The warmth of your cigarette stubbed on my skin.
I don't want to know that our love's still alive through bruises and blood
And the caring caress of your fist on my ribs

Then when you've gone and I crawl to the phone
I tell them I tripped while at home all alone
I'll tell them I slipped and I injured myself,
Banging my head on the edge of that shelf

I don't want to leave but I don't want to stay
I don't like the pain when you love me this way
I know it's my fault, I know it's not you
I have the problem, it's your love that's true

Leave me alone
But don't leave me alone

They ask why I stay when it happens again
And again and again and again and again

I say I don't know how I could survive
Without you beside me to keep me alive

Anything's better than ... better than
Anything's better than ... better than
Anything's better than leaving
