Easy come, easy go, a heartless way to live, you see
You take and take and grab it all, but give nothing back to me
I should have known the trouble brewing from that very first embrace
My eyes were wide, I saw it all, yet still I lost my way in this place
I gave you every piece of me, you tossed it out like waste
You threw my love away, yes, you did, without a moment’s haste
To give me just your loving heart is all I ever yearned to know
‘Cause what you fail to grasp, my dear, is how deeply my feelings flow
I’d catch a grenade exploding bright for you, my love, it’s true
I’d throw my hand upon a sharpened blade, anything to see us through
I’d leap in front of a speeding train, for you, my dear, I’d dare
You know I’d do absolutely anything, my love, beyond compare
I would endure all of this crushing pain, inside my soul it burns
Take a bullet straight into my brain, for you, my world, it turns
Yes, I would gladly die for you, my baby, it’s no lie
But you, my love, you wouldn’t do the same, and that’s the reason why
Black and blue, my skin now bruised, you beat me ’til I’m numb inside
Tell the devil, “Greetings friend,” when you return to where shadows reside
Mad woman, bad woman, that’s the name you wear with pride, it’s clear
You’ll smile sweetly to my face, then rip the brakes out, fueled by fear.
I gave you every piece of me, you tossed it out like waste
You threw my love away, yes, you did, without a moment’s haste
To give me just your loving heart is all I ever yearned to know
‘Cause what you fail to grasp, my dear, is how deeply my feelings flow
I’d catch a grenade exploding bright for you, my love, it’s true
I’d throw my hand upon a sharpened blade, anything to see us through
I’d leap in front of a speeding train, for you, my dear, I’d dare
You know I’d do absolutely anything, my love, beyond compare
If my very body was engulfed in fire, burning wild and free
You’d watch me turn to ash and smoke, in flames of misery
You whispered words of love to me, but darling, you’re a liar, a fake
‘Cause you never, ever, ever loved, my heart, for goodness sake
But darling, still, I’d catch a grenade, exploding in the night
I’d throw my hand upon a blade so keen, with all my fading light
I’d leap in front of a speeding train, for you, my love, in vain
You know I’d do absolutely anything, despite this piercing pain
I would endure all of this crushing pain, a heavy, endless toll
Take a bullet straight into my brain, to save your precious soul
Yes, I would gladly die for you, my baby, with my final breath
But you, my love, you wouldn’t do the same, not even close to death.
No, you won’t do the same, no, never in this life
You wouldn’t do the same, you’d leave me in the strife
Ooh, you never do the same, and cuts me like a knife
No, no, no, oh, in this unrequited love, I see my fading life.
