The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been your lover for the last time
All your pretending, God knows that we tried
I've been a doctor for the last time
If we weren't so good at it we'd have both been fine
I knock you down
Bruise you with my words
I patch you up
Now it's your turn
What is this thing called love that you speak?
Cause we're out of it
We're out of it
We built this city, now we tear it to the ground
This fight is over, hear the bell ringing out, it's the end of the final round
You knock me down
Cut me with a stare
You patch me up
Now it's my turn
What is this thing called love that you speak?
Cause we're out of it
We're out of it
