I've got a hole in my heart
palms pressed to beating breasts
to try and fill it up
still you will watch your love seep out
cup your hands and crouch down
to catch what's left
before it hits the ground
that's why you shouldn't love me
that's why you shouldn't love me
I've got a mind that's as wild as the sea
strong enough to swallow up 
the very thought of you and me
and its so easy to drown
when you're under already
save the life preserver
to save a life that's worthy
I'm as wild as the sea
so don't try to hold me
and you say girl 
you're like the ebb and flow of waves
oh oh oh - you come and go
but each time move further away
oh oh, creeping in at night
I know don't make right
my mornings leave
and that's why you shouldn't love me
I've got these words
that are as heavy as a stone
just watch them fall like cannonballs
being shot out in a row
and oh the sound when they come down
connect with blood and bone
I try to hid, cover my eyes
but I hear it and it shows
I've got these words as heavy as stones
you see I'm better off alone
and you said girl 
you're fighting blindly in this rage
oh oh oh, just wave your white flag
and you can salvage what remains
oh oh oh, well I'm good as down
but still too proud to admit defeat
and that's why you shouldn't love me
why you shouldn't love me
why you shouldn't love me
why you shouldn't love me
I've got this hope that I
can be made whole
I think I've saved a place
for peace to live in this soul
and I've got these fears so I'll just
watch these things unfold
an epic spray beginning
on the saddest story ever told
and you say 'girl our story's written in the sand
just try to be a good woman
I'll try to be a good man
we're going in reverse to the very first
is Adam and Eve
that's why you shouldn't love me
that's why you shouldn't love me
that's why you shouldn't love me
but oh, won't you please love me
