I'll love you like my enemy
I'll love you on the edge of my blade
                      on the opposite side
                      on my knees, begging for             mercy

I'll love you like I hate you
I'll love you with passion
                      red, hot fire
                      to burn or
                      to save

I'll love you like I want to kill you
like your hand in my hair
whispering sultry promises of treachery
tying my hands out of reach while you mark me with your words and i mark you with mine

I'll spend my time trying to tear you down
          bit by bit
          piece by piece
until your empire lies at my feet
and you love me on your knees
begging me to be your hero again

but i will not.

i was only ever your enemy
and only ever your enemy shall I remain.

I'll love you as i drive the blade through your chest,
and you'll love me through the crimson seeping through your fingers.

you'll love me because you thought you were my redemption

you'll love me because you thought you saw guilt in my eyes as i stabbed you clean through

and you'll die thinking i loved you.

but i only ever loved you like an enemy

and i only ever mourn you as one.
