Basia Love Lies Bleeding lyrics

Poor you, what will you do
When there's no other like this one?
Though it's so cruel, acutely painful
Excruciating, greatly ungrateful

It's highly suspicious, what is your secret?
There must be a motive, hidden agenda
No one's that stupid and altruistic
To love so deeply and so completely

Oh no, you're crazy, you cannot help it
'Cause without this torture, life has no meaning
There is no reason to go on

Waste away or die of disappointment
Those you love the most inflict the deepest cut
Waste away or die of disappointment
One you love the most will surely break your heart

Love lies bleeding but your heart's still breathing
And just one last time you're noble and forgiving
So your love lies bleeding but your heart's still breathing
And it tears you apart

Poor me, now I agree
There is no other like this one
Though it's so cruel, acutely painful
Excruciating, greatly ungrateful


It's nothing suspicious, there is no secret
I don't have the motive, hidden agenda
I must be stupid and altruistic
To love so deeply and so completely

Oh yes, I'm crazy, I cannot help it
'Cause without this torture, life has no meaning
There is no reason to go on

Oh, oh, love lies bleeding, heart's still breathing
One last time you're forgiving
Love lies bleeding but your heart's still breathing
And it tears you apart

Waste away or die of disappointment
Those you love the most inflict the deepest cut
Waste away or die of disappointment
One you love the most will surely break your heart

Again your love lies bleeding but your heart's still breathing
And just one last time you're noble and forgiving
Love lies bleeding but your heart's still breathing
And it tears you apart

Oh, poor you and me
