She washed the blood from her hands
Before your friends could see
She told them how horrible you were
How scary you were
And the truth is
You really were scary
You scared her the first time you really looked at her
You scared her the first time you reached for her hand
You scared her the first time you held her
You scared her the first time she fell asleep in your arms
You set her heart on fire
And she was scared she might burn alive
So she turned cold
She froze against you
And she wanted the same for you
She tried desperately to give you that way out
She tried desperately to make you hate her
And to make you believe she hated you
And she still is
She's still trying
She may never stop
She may never face you
She's scared for both of you
But that's just it
You would rather burn alive
Than hate her
You would rather spend the rest of your life on fire
Than spend it without her
