You said you don't wanna hurt me
And I thought that's a silly thing to say
If you want love then you want hurting
All good things come with a little bit of pain
You said you're always gonna trust me
I couldn't hold it in my brain
I don't know much, but I know some things
Like Hannah lied in the seventh grade

Love is gonna chew me up
And love is gonna spit me out
And you will do the same
You will do the same
Love is gonna turn me in
And love is gonna break me down
And you will do the same
You will do the same
Without a doubt

When you get a taste of something sweet
You won't want to give it up
But you'll stomach the repercussions
Cuz there's a crash to every rush
In platinum and precious stones
In promises and grandiose
We self medicate
But humans decompose into ashes into atoms
So permanence is hard to entertain

If love is gonna chew me up
And love is gonna spit me out
No matter what I say
I'll do it anyways
Love is gonna build me up
And love is gonna break me down
And you will do the same
You will do the same
Without a doubt

Even though I want it
I won't hold you to forever
If that's not how it's working out
And even if I wish it
You don't need to love me always
As long as you love me now

Love is gonna chew me up
And love is gonna spit me out
And you will do the same
You will do the same
Love is gonna turn me in
And love is gonna break me down
And you will do the same
You will do the same
Without a doubt
