[Verse 1]
I want you to hurt me
But it's all just a shade of the dark
I'm afraid, mourning rain
And the one I left behind
I want you to hurt me
But I don't want to fall in mirage
Plastered grey, frowning strength
But your faith is what I find

[Chorus]
If you teach me to love
If you teach me to breath
Oh, I'll paint the beauty
For all your needs
If you teach me to love
I promise you'll be stronger then
And I'll burn you with a love that never shades

[Verse 2]
I want you to hurt me
I'm a casualty of your touch
A pierced dove, all alone
With your crimson venting slow
I want you to hurt me
'Cause my pain has drifted away
Blinking calm, but I feel
Dust of salt from down below

[Chorus]
If you teach me to love
If you teach me to breath
Oh, I'll paint the beauty
For all your needs
If you teach me to love
I promise you'll be stronger then
And I'll burn you with a love that never shades
Yes, I'll burn you with my love that never shades (Yeah)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
If you teach me to love
If you teach me to breath
Oh, I'll paint the beauty
For all your needs (for all your needs)
If you teach me to love
I promise you'll be stronger then
And I'll burn you with a love that never shades
Yes, I'll burn you with my love that never shades
