It's like I'm trying to replace that picture portrait that stays on the wall,
It's so difficult to receive the cold dead silence that remains in your brain
It's so difficult to believe that I was so close, so close
A perfect touch and a quick soft hold of those lips
Hips that just drive me crazy it's so easy to go insane
Or look the other way when the crowd moves up and you're standing right there
So it's just time to leave, I don't think you'll ever see
How much this means to me so

[Chorus]

Hate me when I'm still so stupidly in love with you
When you love me I'll be sure to just fly away
So leave, leave this city and don't ever speak to me
That's the way that this silly black heart operates

I'm trying to remove all these leaf green stains that remain in my veins,
It's so difficult to get away
To try to escape these islands that join together when I'm in the middle with you
Antipathy is that all you see in my cold fake expression now
Your shiny eyes will be the sky for me and my paper and my black pen

[Chorus]

Hate me when I'm still so stupidly in love with you
When you love me I'll be sure to just fly away
So leave, leave this city and don't ever speak to me
That's the way that this silly black heart operates

I promise my sickness is sentimental, it's not mental or not physical you see
If I scream for justice, how can you do this to me?

Look at the rain but for you I just won't black out
I'll make sure that this you'll never figure out
How can you do this?

[Chorus]

Hate me when I'm still so stupidly in love with you
And when you love me I'll be sure to just fly away
So leave, leave this city and don't ever speak to me
That's the way that this silly black heart operates

Hate me just hate me when I'm so stupidly in love
And I'll throw sparks of love for you
Hate me just hate me one day you'll see
That this silly black heart operates fine
