Every You Every Me
Placebo Lyrics

Sucker love is heaven sent
This love is addictive and seemingly perfect, but it is not genuine and ultimately destructive.

You pucker up, our passion's spent
We try to sustain the passion, but it quickly fades away leaving us empty.

My heart's a tart, your body's rent
My emotions are promiscuous, while you are left feeling used and abused.

My body's broken, yours is spent
I have given all that I can, while you are left drained and depleted.

Carve your name into my arm
I want to display a permanent reminder of your presence and ownership over me.

Instead of stressed I lie here charmed
Despite the chaos around me, I choose to distract myself with the fleeting feeling of love.

'Cause there's nothing else to do
Feeling lost and complacent, love seems like the only escape from boredom.

Every me and every you
We are in this together, each of us bringing our own baggage to the relationship.

Sucker love a box I choose
I am trapped in this cycle of toxic love, unable to break free from the allure.

No other box I choose to use
I can't seem to escape this pattern, even though I know that it's destructive.

Another love I would abuse
I am aware of my own destructive tendencies, and would inevitably hurt someone else in a new relationship.

No circumstances could excuse
There is no justification for the pain that I have caused and continue to cause in my relationships.

In the shape of things to come
The future looks bleak and unchanging, as I continue in this cycle of self-destruction.

Too much poison, come undone
The toxicity in my life has become too much to bear, and I am starting to fall apart.

Sucker love, who's known to swing
This love is unpredictable and often causes me to swing between euphoria and despair.

Prone to cling and waste these things
I hold onto love desperately, even when it is toxic and damaging to both me and my partner.

Pucker up for heaven's sake
Despite the pain and destruction, I can't help but keep seeking out this addictive and unhealthy love.

There's never been so much at stake
The stakes feel higher than ever, as I continue to hurt myself and others in this cycle of toxic love.

I serve my head up on a plate
I am willingly sacrificing my own well-being and happiness for the sake of love, even when it is self-destructive.

It's only comfort, calling late
In the loneliness and darkness of night, love seems like the only solace that can be found.

Like the naked leads the blind
I blindly follow my desperation for love, even when it is obviously leading me into darkness.

I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
I am aware of my own destructive tendencies, and recognize that I am hurting those I claim to love.

Sucker love, I always find
Despite knowing the damage that it causes, I am always drawn back into this cycle of toxic and addictive love.

Someone to bruise and leave behind
I am using others as a means to my own ends, leaving them bruised and broken in my wake.

All alone in space and time
Despite being in relationships, I feel completely isolated and alone in this cycle of toxic love.

There's nothing here, but what here's mine?
In this cycle of toxic love, I am only concerned with my own pleasure and satisfaction, leaving nothing behind for anyone else.

Something borrowed, something blue
The cycle of toxic love is like a wedding tradition, where you borrow someone's love and leave them feeling blue.

Every me and every you
We are both playing into and perpetuating this cycle of toxic love, hurting each other along the way.
