lyrics

Loving, all over again now
It ain't nothing girl, til you've felt the pain
Up against the wall, why does love always have to hurt
Your scratches run across my back and then a tear

chorus : Dear lover, I can't take the pain no more
 Dear lover, I pick my heart up from the floor
 Dear lover, I can't believe its come to this
 Dear lover, give me one last painful kiss

There ain't nothing, in this world for free now
So how high of a price will you pay ?
Hear the screams so loud, wake up to the broken glass
It's a scene from bad to worse and then more tears


As usual, listen to the song for a better comprehension.
