Do you ever listen to the things that you say
Always good to go, I guess I'm doing ok
Money in your pocket and an appetite
Got it all worked out, but you still can't get it right - because
What you love is what kills you
What you love will tear you apart
Just might be your poison - or just a broken heart
Let's talk about the space between love and hate
Such a thin little line with such an awful weight
You know what you need but you know it's a lie
If you get what you want you could be saying goodbye - because
What you love is what kills you
What you love will tear you apart
Just might be your poison - or just a broken heart
Don't say a word - then you won't say a lie
But kiss your dreams goodbye
It's not a perfect world or shangri-la in space
So hard to figure out what's going on in this place
And sometimes you work and sometimes you play
Someone gets to pick unless someone gets to pay - because
What you love is what kills you
What you love will tear you apart
Just might be your poison - or just a broken heart
