lyrics

Desire gets in the way
You can’t hide such an ugly trait
I know it’s not easy when everything you want is within your reach
But better the bed you know than the bed that you don’t

This fire burns incessantly
I can’t lie — I kind of like the pain
I know you’ll put it out
You always put it out before it consumes me

For you I’ll remain chained to the bed we’ve made
But I get to choose your lingerie
We’ll lie here forever like condemned criminals on trial
I’m down for whatever
The uglier the better
