lyrics

You wrote me a note; I got it in the store
It was written in script, it said I was a chore
Now all this time is gone, and I’m getting old
The secret of happiness remains untold
So, Tory, I just gotta ask you:
Why do you want to love?
‘Cause I don’t give a shit about being in love

You answered me slowly but the details were slim
After six hours I didn’t learn a thing
Now all this time is gone, and I’m not your child
The secret of life is hidden in the wild
So, Tory, I just got to press you on this:
Why do you want to love?
‘Cause I don’t give a shit about being in love

You’re breaking the dishes; I think I’m getting a sense
I can understand wanting to express some violence
And if the heart beats to move some blood that might come out
Then I’m starting to understand what love is all about
And Tory, you’re badly bleeding
Why don’t we go for a ride?
Because my car, my car runs on your blood

Now we’re in my car and we’re going real quick
The trail of blood is our heart’s shift stick
The more defined it is, the faster we’re missed
Destruction is my kind of boy-kiss
There’s no use holding if you can destroy
Don’t turn a human being into your toy
Tory, heed my suggestion
Don’t ever want to love
‘Cause wanting to love is a projection of fear
