Animal

If you could burn it out

Like a tick buried in your hide

If you could tear it out

Like a thorn stuck in your side

Then you can bet that

IDon't want to look at what you find

Because I'm afraid that

IMight want to keep it for myself

I thought

I was above you

I hate that

I love you

If you could tell a lie

Sharp enough to get through my skin

If you could sell a lie

To make me want to come back again

Then you can bet that

IWant to feel it dribble down my chin

Sometimes

I think I'd give everything away

To let that animal in

I thought

I was above you

I hate that

I love you
