lyrics

They say the devil you know is better than the one you don’t
And I took that personal
Took every heart that ever stung, let the pain go on and on
Flooded through my veins like drugs
Yeah, I got high off the things they’d done
High off the things they’d done
I got high off the ones I loved
I’d loved

Who never, never, never loved me (never, never, never loved me)
Who never, never, never loved me (never, never, never loved me)
When things got better then I wanted to leave (better then I wanted to leave)
Coz I was used to never having anyone love me

Took all my broken bones trying to make them whole
So I patched up every wall
I climbed up to the highest peak screamed to the world I’d found my feet
Knew I’d never get an apology
So, I got high off the things they’d done
High off the things they’d done
I got high off the ones I’d loved
I’d loved

Who never, never, never loved me (never, never, never loved me)
Who never, never, never loved me (never, never, never loved me)
When things got better then I wanted to leave (better then I wanted to leave)
Coz I was used to never having anyone love me

And you say that you’ll stay but
How can I trust you with the mess I am
Don’t you see that I’m still bleeding
Don’t you know that no one ever can

No one can ever, ever, ever love me
No one has ever, ever, ever loved me
You were so much better and I still wanted to leave (better then I wanted to leave)
Coz I was used to never having anyone love me
(never, never, never loved me)
(never, never, never loved me)
(never, never, never loved me)
Love me
