For Wanting You |
It comes as no surprise |
Your face filled with lies |
Hovers all around me in this room |
Clouds hung with my dismay |
A hot bed where we lay |
Your every kiss tasting like a tomb |
If time becomes a judge |
If my body holds a grudge |
It’s just because I needed sanctuary |
Your skin under my nails |
My curiosity that failed |
To save myself for something that I need |
I don’t wanna bleed |
Or bruise up black and blue |
Do I deserve these things |
All for wanting you? |
Like some virgin with her cloth |
I play the goddess coming through |
Now I play the parting slave |
All for wanting you |
We do things 'cause we must |
The law of love and lust |
Comes together just like oil on flame |
I looked into your eyes |
You saw me naked for a while |
How d’you like it in my little nest? |
Who was really using who? |
In here the scent of you |
Stains the sheets with memory and lust |
When I get back on the street |
Tell everybody that I meet |
Maybe these aren’t scars, they’re only rust |
I don’t wanna bleed |
Or bruise up black and blue |
Do I deserve these things |
All for wanting you? |
Like some virgin with her cloth |
I play the goddess coming through |
Now I play the parting slave |
All for wanting you |
