Love Her

I met a girl who hated the world

She used her body to sell her soul

Every time they'd break her and pay

Tear out her heart and leave her in pain.



I never found out how she survived

All of the sadness she kept inside

I never found out how she could lie

With a smile on her face and the scratches she'd hide.



You could love her if you paid

You could have her every day

You could love her if you prayed

You could have her every way, oh.



Down on her knees, she wept on the floor

This hopeless life she wanted no more

Dead in her mind and cold to the bone

She opened her eyes and saw she was alone.



She never found out how much I tried

All of the sadness she kept made me blind

She never found out how much I cried

The rope so tight on the night that she died.



You could love her if you paid

You could have her every day, oh

You could love her if you prayed

You could have her every way, oh.



I never found out how she survived

A life lived in lies is a life of denial

I never found out how she could lie

With a smile on her face and the darkness inside.



You could love her if you paid

You could have her every day, oh

You could love her if you prayed

You could have her every way, oh.



You could love her if you paid

You could have her every day, oh

You could love her if you prayed

You could have her every way, oh.
