lyrics

You and I need each other. Built To Destroy one another.
You and I need each other. Built To Destroy.

We're in the business of corrupting innocence.
We keep ourselves for sale. We do it very well.
You're just the kind of trouble I've been looking for.
I'm going to step outside, and find a place to hide what we have found.

You and I need each other. Built To Destroy one another.
You and I need each other. Built To Destroy.

I never have to push, 'cause you're already there.
This force is chemical.
It's out of our control.
These bruises on my body keep you in my heart.
I'll never let you go.
You've carved your name into my bones.

You and I need each other. Built To Destroy one another.
You and I need each other. Built To Destroy.

The joy of corruption;
I've never paid for all my sins.
The struggle surrendered;
You are my favorite punishment.

You and I need each other. Built To Destroy one another.
You and I need each other. Built To Destroy.

You and I need each other. Built To Destroy one another.
You and I need each other. Built To Destroy one another.
You and I need each other. Built To Destroy one another.
You and I need each other. Built To Destroy.
