Oh I would walk over miles if you'd played your part I'd write you a song if you'd just break my heart I would love you forever but woman I plead Just love me and hold me and then let me be
Oh I would draw you in ink If I thought it would work I'd buy you the ocean if you'd only hurt me I'd steal you a river if you'd only see When you love me and hold me and then let me be
(chorus) I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself I'm a writer who's nothing if he's not in hell I would owe you a favour and if it's alright Would you love me and leave me with something to write? Would you love me and leave me with something to write?
I would ache to my bones from the hours I'd spend Writing poems of loss if you'd sleep with my friends I would paint you a mural and ring all the bells If you please just mistreat me and put me through hell
Oh I would treat you like an angel and say all the things The loneliest poets have only dared dream I would love you with all of my heart If you would Just love me and hold me and leave me for good
(chorus) I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself I'm a writer who's nothing if he's not in hell I would owe you a favour and if it's alright Would you love me and leave me with something to write? Please love me and leave me with something to write
