Altered Lover

The one that I loved
The one that I loved
I don’t love you anymore
All that I wanted
All that I wanted
I don’t know what more is left here
But you’re not what I expected
From all the evil and pain I tried to get extracted
I guess I wanted a little bit of hurt
A little bit of infection
All that came from you

I guess I dreamt too crazily
About the illness we cherish
Being just a glimpse in our way
But you would never have me
Baby, you would never want my name

My passion would never be enough
But it seems endlessly rough
My body was yours to burn
But you left it cold for whatever else you preferred
(I just can’t understand)
(Why does it still burn?)

The one that I loved
The one that I loved
I don’t love you anymore
All that I wanted
You were all that I wanted
Better than anything that came after
Better than any of them before
You were never my one
You were all that I wanted
But I was never enough
