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
