I hear a voice say "Don't be so blind"
It's telling me all these things
That you would probably hide
Am I your one and only desire
Am I the reason you breathe
Or am I the reason you cry

Always, always, always, always, always, always
I just can't live without you
I love you, I hate you, I can't get around you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door
And now I'm done with you

I feel, like you don't want me around,
I guess I'll pack all my things,
I guess I'll see you around,
It's all been bottled up until now
As I walk out your door,
All I can hear is the sound

Always, always, always, always, always, always,
I just can't live without you
I love you, I hate you, I can't get around you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door
And now I'm done with you

I love you, I hate you, I can't live without you

I left my head around your heart
Why would you tear my world apart

Always, always, always, always

I see, the blood all over your hands
Does it make you feel,  more like a man
Was it all, just a part of your plan
This pistol's shakin' in my hands
And all I hear is the sound

I love you, I hate you, I can't get around you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door
And now I'm done with you

I love you, I hate you, I can't live without you

I love you, I hate you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I pick myself off the floor
And now I'm done with you
Always, always, always
