Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You only know what I want you to

I know everything you don't want me to

Your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine

You think your dreams are the same as mine

[Verse 2]

Ooh, I don't love you, but I always will

Ooh, I don't love you, but I always will

I don't love you, but I always will

I always will

[Verse 3]

I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back

The less I give, the more I get back

Ooh, your hands can heal, your hands can bruise

I don't have a choice but I still choose you

[Verse 4]

Oh, I don't love you, but I always will

Oh, I don't love you, but I always will

I don't love you, but I always will

Oh, I don't love you, but I always will

I don't love you, but I always will

I don't love you, but I always will

I don't love you, but I always will

[Verse 5]

I always will

I always will

I always will

I always will

I always will
