you would jump in front of a moving train for me
you would throw yourself onto the tracks in the culminating scene
and you always say you'd jump in a vat of boiling oil
or coat yourself in anything that would make anybody else recoil
you would jump across me and take a bullet to the heart
but sit right down and listen to me
before any of this jumping starts

I don't wanna be loved like that

if I ever needed you you'd come as fast as you could
through the dark and through the woods in your bright red shiny hood
and the next thing you know I might devour you whole
even though all the signs were there
even though you know anybody could have told you

that I don't wanna be loved like that

I just want you to hold my hand
be patient with me when there are things that I don't understand
know yourself well enough to believe me when I say
the bravest thing you could do for me is to
get out of harms way

oh

I wouldn't jump in front of a moving train for you
I think that's a stupid and selfish thing to do
just so that everyone can look and say
oh look what she went through
all that would be left of me is something I was trying to prove

I don't wanna be loved like that

I don't wanna be loved like that
