I Don't Want Love

You wanna climb up the stairs,

I wanna push you back down.

But I let you inside,

so you can push me around.

If I leave before you,

and I walk out alone,

keep your hands to yourself

when you follow me home.

I don't want love.

We wake up with pounding heads,

bruised down below.

I should have built better walls,

or slept in my clothes.

So if I see you again,

desperate and stoned,

keep your prison locked up,

and I will leave my gun at home.

I don't want love.
