Crawled away from me
Slipped away from me
Tried to keep a hold
But there was nothing I could say
Slid away from me
Crept away from me
Tried to keep you down
But there was nothin' I could say
What you try to say
Is you don't want to play
What you want
And what you need
Don't mean that much to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I'd stick the knife in
Crawled away from me
Slipped away from me
Tried to keep a hold
But there was nothin I could say
Slid away from me
Drift away from me
Tried to keep you down
But there was nothin I could say
What you tryin to say
Is you don't want to play
What you want
And what you need
Don't mean that much to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I'd stick the knife in
This is Love
This is love
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love
Say you won't go
Get you in a stranglehold baby
Can you, can you get away?
What you tryin' to say
Is you don't want to play
What you want and what you need
Don't mean a fuck to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I'd stick the knife in
Slipped away from me
Tried to keep a hold
But there was nothing I could say
Slid away from me
Crept away from me
Tried to keep you down
But there was nothin' I could say
What you try to say
Is you don't want to play
What you want
And what you need
Don't mean that much to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I'd stick the knife in
Crawled away from me
Slipped away from me
Tried to keep a hold
But there was nothin I could say
Slid away from me
Drift away from me
Tried to keep you down
But there was nothin I could say
What you tryin to say
Is you don't want to play
What you want
And what you need
Don't mean that much to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I'd stick the knife in
This is Love
This is love
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love
Say you won't go
Get you in a stranglehold baby
Can you, can you get away?
What you tryin' to say
Is you don't want to play
What you want and what you need
Don't mean a fuck to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I'd stick the knife in

This is a song about someone leaving, true. However, Maynard is not talking about getting revenge. He is only thinking about revenge. He loves this person so much that he refuses to act on his impulses. It is more of a fantasy than a real thing. The song kicks ass.
@oKySP Agreed. This is very much about the feelings associated with codependency.
