| So it’s a private education
|
| And it’s not getting any easier
|
| But if it’s any indication
|
| Well I feel a little weaker now
|
| And it’s a private education
|
| So I present you with your degree
|
| A degree of separation goes a long long way when schooling me
|
| So forgive me for what I have done
|
| And forgive me for what I might do
|
| And redeem me to everyone
|
| As I submit myself to you
|
| You could wear me 'round like your best dress and I wouldn’t mind
|
| You could ruin me in one long night and then cast me aside
|
| You could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn’t change your heart
|
| Or kiss your scars
|
| Or find your heat there in the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark
|
| So it’s a private education
|
| And I’m feeling like an innocent
|
| Though I feel a little guilty now
|
| Since I’ve sinned against myself again
|
| So forgive me for what I have done
|
| And forgive me for what I might do
|
| And redeem me to everyone
|
| As I submit myself to you
|
| You could wear me 'round like your best dress and I wouldn’t mind
|
| You could ruin me in one long night and then cast me aside
|
| You could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn’t change your heart
|
| Or kiss your scars
|
| Or find your heat there in the dark
|
| I wanna learn you good
|
| I wanna read your text
|
| I wanna cut you deeper
|
| Wanna cut you best
|
| Now my cautionary ways are swept aside
|
| I fear you not
|
| All my past disclaimers and alibis
|
| I’ve now forgot
|
| You could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn’t change your heart
|
| Or kiss your scars
|
| Or find your heat there in the dark
|
| So it’s a private education, and it’s not getting any cheaper, I wear the cost
|
| around like a wound, and I’ll try not to bleed all over you |
