about

This song is about getting over an ex while listening to nothing but Jenny Owen Youngs on repeat. It's my thank you to her for the healing that her music has brought me. She's a gift and an inspiration.

lyrics

Love is a dead weight that grows inside me like a tumor
Sits in my blood and eats me away, day by day
Love is a parasite that never stops feeding off it's host
It's an infected limb I just can't bring myself to cut off
I'm so embarrassed, I am just like you
Kiss me till I'm black and blue.

Don't let me breathe, and make it sting
Keep me on a short leash
Tie it off and shoot me up - I'm a junkie for your love
Oh I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough

Love is a black hole that pulls on me from every angle
Only Jenny knows how to make me think
That it's a beautiful thing
But I can't believe what she sings
Cause she says

Don't let me breathe, and make it sting
Keep me on a short leash
Tie it off and shoot me up - I'm a junkie for your love
Oh I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough

Left to fight the ghost of you, and I've got nothing else to lose
So I'm going down, down, down
I'll find someone bigger, stronger
Someone who will hit me harder
Hit me baby one more time

Cause I only like it when it hurts
I only want it if it's gonna sting
It seems I only love you when you're mean
And if it doesn't hurt then I can't feel a thing

Cause I only like it when it hurts
I only want it if it's gonna sting
It seems I only love you when you're mean
And if it doesn't hurt then I can't feel a thing
