(If You Love Me You'd) Destroy Me

[recorded by Aereogramme, available on The Ballads of the Book album from Chemikal Underground]

I'll give you my heart, I'll give you my soul
I'll give you all that I've ever been
And all that I've touched, that's ever touched me
The flesh and the bones of my memories

And if you love me you'd destroy me
If you love me you'd destroy me

I'll give you my words in poetry
In sonnet form, a sonnet for thee
Cause roses are red, and violets are blue
And lavender's green with envy of you

And if you love me you'd destroy me
If you love me you'd destroy me

I'll give you my life to wreck
My hopes to crush
My tender sanity
I'll give you my heart to break
My hand to brush
Away so callously

And if you love me you'd destroy me
If you love me you'd destroy me

I'll give the secrets that no one else knows
Stripping my soul as I strip off my clothes
I'll whisper my sorrows in your ear
I'll give you my blood, my sweat and my tears

And if you love me you'd destroy me
If you love me you'd destroy me

I'll give you my heart, I'll give you my soul
I'll give you all that I'll ever be
And all that I'll touch, that'll ever touch me
The flesh and the bones of my destiny

And if you love me you'll destroy me
And if you love me you'll destroy me
And if you love me you'd destroy me
And if you love me you'd destroy me
