Well I thought he'd love me forever
How forever is easily said
Oh how love is like liquid
Liquid over my head
All I wanted was to love him
So I gave him my heart
First thing I learned about love is
Things break when you tear them apart
Will you love me when I'm angry?
Will you bring me my spirit when my soul is dry?
Will you give me your forever?
Will you lay down in this fire?
So my dear are you lonely
Or are you just the lonely type?
The ones who cry with their lovers
The kind who love out of spite?
Will you love me when I'm angry?
Will you bring me my spirit when my soul is dry?
Will you swallow all my wishes?
Will you lay down in this fire?
Will you lay down in this fire?
I'm not going to ever take away
From the person you're trying to be
So you can stay right there inside yourself
I know everybody wants to be free
Well on the night my lover left me
I did not beg his stay
Watched a paper bag trying to jump a chain link fence
And I knew he was just blowing away
Will you love me when I'm angry?
Will you bring me my spirit when my soul is dry?
Will you give me your forever?
Will you lay down in this fire?
Will you love me when I'm angry?
Will you bring me my spirit when my soul is dry?
Will you harbor all my vengeance?
Will you lay down in this fire?
Will you lay down in this fire?
Will you lay down in this fire?
