lyrics

You found me in a fragile state
In no position to negotiate
I would do anything to keep the peace
An easy target for your control freak tendencies
Now I am taking the power back
Consider this a unilateral attack
Our destruction is now mutually assured
I see no difference between love and war anymore

I love you but you make me want to die
And so I must erase you
I lose sight of myself, yeah you’re bad for my health
I’ve lost too much sleep already
You can think what you like, go wherever feels right
Just stay away from me

Your time has come, I am deleting you
Wiping every memory and removing my tattoo
You said I couldn’t, I’ll show you I can
Gathered up the things you gave me, took them all to Oxfam
Did you know I can make a man just disappear
These battle scars my only souvenir
I push the button, there’s a satisfying sound
This user could not be found

I love you but you make me want to die
And so I must erase you
I lose sight of myself, yeah you’re bad for my health
I’ve lost too much sleep already
You can think what you like, go wherever feels right
Just stay away from me

I’ve a right to take up space and a right to ask for what I need
I don’t need your permission and I owe no apologies
I got no choice but to erase you as my survival strategy
I’ve nothing left to say except stay the hell away from me

Don’t want to see you
No longer need you
Time to erase you
Stay the hell away from me

I love you but you make me want to die
And so I must erase you
I lose sight of myself, yeah you’re bad for my health
I’ve lost too much sleep already
You can think what you like, go wherever feels right
Just stay away from me
