But Tenderly
I don’t mind that you don’t love me.
 I only ask that you humor me.
 Touch me. Fool me.
 Deceive and confuse me,
 baby, I want you to abuse me,
 but do it cruelly.
 Hurt me once
 and I changed,
 and it all feels the same, 
 what a shame.
 I’m aware that I’m strange 
 ‘cause now when you bite-kiss me,
 it just hurts so damn good.
 So beat me, bruise me,
 pollute me absolutely,
 it don’t matter to me.
 Take me, make me,
 break me and use me,
 I want you to abuse me
 but tenderly.
 Love me with lies in your eyes 
 and abandon me come sunrise.
 Cut me.
 With broken pieces of chivalry,
 I will swallow them whole
 and mold myself like wet clay
 into your fleeting affection, 
 I go willingly.
 It don’t bother me when you talk about the others,
 my half-hearted lover, 
 just love me.
 Sweetly,
 and then leave me.
