this empty vessel was marked HEART
by this tear and blood stained instruction manual
now while I read on tryin to figure out how this works
I guess part a and part b are supposed to mingle
but its only correct if I can see the fire in her eyes twinkle
which makes way for step 2
which is the point where I'm hopelessly in love with you
step 3, now this is where things get tricky
shit might happen to challange things between you and me
then theres step 4 which I cant read
becuase it seems this page got trampled on, look you can
make out the lines in the tile, musta been the bathroom floor
but pressing on, im skipping to step 6 this one
is just a warning about safe sex but since Im
the lonely kinda fuck who only fucks with commitment
Im throwin the page out and skipping again to page ten
now it says if my love and I were separated and I end there,
laughing how it says in fine print in parenthesis,
(always stay persistant as this may happen repeatedly)
Collecting my thoughts I decide to throw the damn page out,
using it to wipe these last years and blow my nose
I wonder why I brought it out, as if I didnt know what to do
truth is, when it comes to love who in the hell ever knows what to do
and if you say you do, ill tell you homeboy your  a liar and a thief
becuase if you know how it works, then your nothing but a cheat
so i suppose when it comes down to it ill be confused as ever
and probably just as predictable as my actions to anyone
who would want this part a in their part b
so believe me when I hand you this new manual
written by yours truly
take love by the hand, youll get a fist to the chin
take love by the fall, you'll be drowning in it
take love at first sight, after that nothing will ever be right
take love as it is with its beautiful persistance
and you'll find a way to break that resistance
so someone show me a little dedication
followed by some schoolgirl hot attention
and I'll fall quick to my knees
becuase incase you didnt know,
Love is like a disease to which I have no immunity
so hug me tight, give me a squeeze
take the damn life out of me
make me sick with your aspiring aspiration of a future with me
and I believe you'll have me
sicker then ever
my happiness will be killing me
but I suppose if your with me
let it do me in
then you can keep me
keep me in line
keep me asleep
keep me in your arms
but until then
im keeping myself out of harms way
