What it takes

You can cut off my legs

You can tear out my hair

But won't you please

please leave my eyes there



I need to see you

In all of your glory

Read into your eyes

Understand your story



You can cut off my legs

You can tear out my hair

But won't you please

Please leave my arms there



I need you to hug me

I need you to hold

And never let go

As we both grow old



You can cut off my legs

You can tear out my hair

But won't you please

Please leave my ears there



I need to hear you

Your voice like a song

So gentle and soothing

Righting every wrong



You can cut off my legs

You can tear out my hair

But won't you please

Please leave my heart there



I need to love you

To take away that pain

The pain that I caused

Which is how I can explain



That you can cut off my legs

And you can tear out my hair

You can hate me and destroy me

That, I can bear



I can take every lashing

Every stab of the knife

Burn my entire body

Rape me of my life



I know I deserve

Every strike of pain

Every trail of blood

Every look of disdain



I want you to be angry

To despise and to loath me

So that I can receive

The feelings given by me



Every bit of regret

Every drop of despair

I placed inside your heart

That makes it beyond repair



But I want you to know

When you're finished with me

...All I wanted to do

Was make you happy
