[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 (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 (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
