[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

And 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

[Verse 2]

When you get a taste of something sweet

You won't want to give it up

But you'll stomach the repercussions

'Cause 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

[Chorus]

If love is gonna chew me up

And love is gonna spit me out

No matter what I say

I'll do it anyway

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

[Bridge]

And 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

[Chorus]

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

Love is gonna chew me up

And love is gonna spit me out

No matter what I say

I'll do it anyway

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
