Keaton Henson - Hurt Me lyrics

I would walk all the miles
If you'd play your part
I'd write you a song if
You just break my heart
I would love you forever but woman I plead
Just love me and hold me and then let me be

I would draw you in ink if
I thought it would work
I'd buy you the ocean if you'd only hurt me
I'd steal you a river if you'd only see
Would you love me then hold me then let me be

I'm a sick kind of lover
And I'm cruel to myself
I'm a writer who's nothing if
He's not in hell
I'd owe you a favour and if it's alright
Would you love me and leave
Me with something to write
Would you love me and leave
Me with something to write

Well I would ache to my bones
From the hours I'd spend
Writing poems of loss if you
Sleep with my friends
I would paint you a mural
And ring all the bells if you'd please
Just mistreat and put me through hell

Well I would treat you like an
Angel and say all the things
The loneliest poets have only dared dream
I would love you with all of
My heart if you would
Just love me and hold me
Then leave me for good

I'm a sick kind of lover
And I'm cruel to myself
I'm a writer who's nothing if
He's not in hell
I would owe you a favour and if it's alright
Would you love me and leave
Me with something to write
