Did you ever wonder what happens to broken hearts
as you search for the cure for these scars.
Did you ever doubt his deep brown eyes when he said
he'd be there for you'
Did you ever feel the hot tears well up inside,
Did you know the wax wings melt in sunlight'
Have you figured out'
he lied, he lied, he lied.

Girl, he's poison.
I hope you figure it out.
Lethal injection is not
your way out.
When love is the needle,
when love is the needle.

You don't, don't have to wear this shame
Just like a dress
Your emotions are a mess
And he said, "baby I love you",
but it wasn't true
The fire in your eyes has died
from cyanide.
When love is the needle,
When love is the needle.

How many times must we go through this
you say he's sincere and I say prove it!
If he thought of you like you think of him
well he'd be here by now, now.
What happens when, when all of the walls fall down'
What happens when he just is not around'
When will you see'
he lied, he lied, he lied.

Girl, he's poison.
I hope, you figure it out.
Lethal injection is not
your way out.
When love is the needle,
when love is the needle.

You don't, don't have to wear this shame
Just like a dress
Your emotions are a mess
And he said, "baby I love you",
but it wasn't true
The fire in your eyes has died
from cyanide.

You don't, don't have to wear this shame
Just like a dress
Your emotions are a mess
And he said, "baby I love you",
but it wasn't true
The fire in your eyes has died
from cyanide.
When love is the needle,
When love is the needle.

You thought you could trust him
he said he'd be true.
But you're all alone now
they say shame on you.
You wear this like a dress,
Your emotions are a mess.
It's breaking my heart to see you like this.
I've collected all your tears in a bottle.
I know what you've been through,
I've counted your sorrows.
My reply will be speedy,
you can trust me
cause I'm going to save you.
if you only knew
what I did for you.

If you only knew.

When love is the needle,
When love is...
