Lyrics
Tell me you love me then leave
Tell me you?ll leave then love me
It?s Elementary
I?ll take you after your test
Like an answer or a fact
And if you last after the question
That will make you wish you never asked
You?ll Cut yourself and every class
When you learn about me
And if you choose to read me
Before I write you off
And if you learn my language
And you finally want to
Talk about why love is not balanced on both sides
When the variable is me
Tell me you love me then leave
Tell me you?ll leave then love me
It?s Elementary
And if this equation amounts
To a phrase that you can?t possibly pronounce
Then I?ll know you never loved me
It?s not so hard to figure out
Tell me you love me then leave
Tell me you?ll leave then love me
It?s Elementary
