You say it's not important to you
  That's the most I ever get from you
  You're just a model of restraint
  But only you could carry out a threat with so much hate
  
  I know you've got a system
  It's not a system of sacrifice
  You think you've got my life on hold
  But I just need, need to be told just once
  Tell me just once
  That's all I want to hear
  That's all I want to hear
  
  Can you feel the knife edge we're balancing on
  Or are you just as blind as you are when you're wrong?
  Your sympathy confuses me; why do you comfort me?
  Why do you come here at all?
  
  I know you've got a reason
  But everything you do makes the reason worse
  It's easier to hate me and walk out the door
  But all you have to do is just say it
  Say it just once
  Tell me just once
  That's all I want to hear
  That's all I want to hear
  
  I know you've got a system
  It's not a system of sacrifice
  You think you've got my life on hold
  But I just need, need to be told just once
  Tell me just once
  That's all I want to hear
  That's all I want to hear
  
  Just once (you can't try to hurt me any more)
  That's all I want to hear
  Just once (you can't try to touch me like before)
  That's all I want to hear
  (You can't try to hurt me any more)
  (You can't try to touch me like before)
  (You can't try to hurt me any more
