You say it's not important to you
That's the most I ever get from you
You're just a model of restraint
But only you could carry out a threat with so much hate
I know you've got a system
It's not a system of sacrifice
You think you've got my life on hold
But I just need, need to be told just once
Tell me just once
That's all I wanna hear
That's all I wanna hear
Can you feel the knife edge we're balancing on
Or are you just as blind as you are when you're wrong?
Your sympathy confuses me
Why do you comfort me?
Why do you come here at all?
I know you've got a reason
But everything you do makes the reason worse
It's easier to hate me and walk out the door
But all you have to do is just say it
Say it just once
Tell me just once
That's all I wanna hear
That's all I wanna hear
I know you've got a system
It's not a system of sacrifice
You think you've got my life on hold
But I just need, need to be told just once
Tell me just once
That's all I wanna hear
That's all I wanna hear
Just once you can't try to hurt me any more
That's all I wanna hear
Just once you can't try to touch me like before
That's all I wanna hear
That's the most I ever get from you
You're just a model of restraint
But only you could carry out a threat with so much hate
I know you've got a system
It's not a system of sacrifice
You think you've got my life on hold
But I just need, need to be told just once
Tell me just once
That's all I wanna hear
That's all I wanna hear
Can you feel the knife edge we're balancing on
Or are you just as blind as you are when you're wrong?
Your sympathy confuses me
Why do you comfort me?
Why do you come here at all?
I know you've got a reason
But everything you do makes the reason worse
It's easier to hate me and walk out the door
But all you have to do is just say it
Say it just once
Tell me just once
That's all I wanna hear
That's all I wanna hear
I know you've got a system
It's not a system of sacrifice
You think you've got my life on hold
But I just need, need to be told just once
Tell me just once
That's all I wanna hear
That's all I wanna hear
Just once you can't try to hurt me any more
That's all I wanna hear
Just once you can't try to touch me like before
That's all I wanna hear
