Like Lovers Do
You build and break
You come to make a fool of me
Still I fall down at your feet
You push and pull
You take and leave me incomplete
But my best is underneath
So what are you waiting for?
A line you can make me crawl?
Well I don't care, and I won't try
To break this fall or win this fight
I'll put my faith in you like lovers do
You ask then tell
You bend the truth til I begin
To crawl out of my skin
So what are you waiting for?
A line you can make me crawl?
Well I don't care, I won't try
To break this fall or win this fight
I'll put my faith in you, like lovers do...like lovers do
So baby, don't you cry
I can see that every teardrop in your eye
Is just a sheet on a bed of lies
So what are you waiting for?
A line you can make me crawl?
Well I don't care, I won't try
To break this fall or win this fight
I'll put my faith in you, like lovers do
Like lovers do.
Crying Shame
You say you come from a different life
As tears stream down your face
But you should know, darlin', in my eyes
You could never fall far from grace
No you could never fall from grace
The words you say
They don't mean a thing
It's just some faint hollow lies
But every day you still cause me pain
Because you're always on my mind
Oh yes, you're always on my mind
I hear you crying every night now
but there's no one left to blame
I hear you calling out for someone
but it's not my name
Oh, baby, that's a cryin' shame
Woah, baby, it's a cryin' shame
You say your world slowly crumbles down
and all the weight starts to stack
But listen, baby, though this love ain't strong
I could carry you on my back
Oh yes, I'd carry you on my back
I hear you crying every night now
but there's no one left to blame
I hear you calling out for someone
but it's not my name
Oh, baby, that's a cryin' shame
Woah, baby, it's a cryin' shame
You come in my home
and ask for my heart
I give you my soul
but It's never enough
To get you back home
Killing Games
I run my fingers down your neck
and hold my hand upon your thigh
I whisper close under my breath
I love you a thousand times
Stay a while, until I breathe
Stay a while, until I breathe
Look what you do to me
You know, love ain't no killing game
Or did you miss that one?
You know, love ain't no killing game
Or did you miss that one?
Let love be your devil now
You said "things just ain't the same"
Then why are you sleeping in my bed?
I don't see you giving up
So just keep fucking with my head
Stay a while, until I bleed
Cause that's what you do to me
You know, love ain't no killing game
Or did you miss that one?
You know, love ain't no killing game
Or did you miss that one?
Or did you miss that one?
Let love be your devil now
Let love be your devil now
Let love be your devil now
You know love ain't no killing game
Aim To Misbehave
I didn't come to please
I came to bring you to your knees
Oh, and if it's love you came to find
Then I'll try hard not to tease
I didn't come to fight
No, I came to bring the night
Now hold onto your pretty angel heart
While I set it on fire
You've got a twisted little mind
You've got a mouth that I could live inside
Be my sinner, darlin', be my slave
I aim to misbehave.
I didn't come to break you
Don't you know I'd never hurt you
Oh and though I know you've heard this one before
I sure don't intend to lose you
I didn't come here to offend
Well, now baby, let's not pretend
You know fine well you ain't no perfect girl
And this beginning has no end
You've got a twisted little mind
And a mouth that I could live inside
Be my sinner, darlin, be my slave
Cause I aim to misbehave.
Oh baby, you pull the trigger of my sins
Show me something cause I want to sink my teeth right in
I aim to misbehave
Three Times, You're Gone
I feel you creeping in
a dagger in my side
Like a snake bite coming in
To stick me with your knife
And it's 1, 2, 3 times you're gone
Baby, it's 1, 2, 3 times you're gone
You're gone
I just can't take it no more
These jealous games you adore
I just can't fake it no more
am I the lonely one, or just a loaded gun
You say you want me but I know
I'm not going back
You say you need me but I know
I ain't never going back
No there's no way back
No easy way back
I feel you creeping in
pain is all you bring
Like a love torn puppet, child
you hang me by your strings
And it's 1, 2, 3 times you're gone
It's 1, 2, 3 times you're gone
You're gone
I just can't take it no more
These jealous games you adore
I just can't fake it no more
am I the lonely one, or just a loaded gun
You say you want me but I know
I'm not going back
You say you need me but I know
I ain't never going back
No there's no way back
No easy way back
Somebody's Gotta Go
Goodbye, oh no
Don't close your eyes
I'm gone, I'm gone
I ain't watching you fall apart
Don't shed a tear
I know love never dies
All alone, I'm gone, I'm gone
On the next train that comes around
Goodbye, oh no,
Goodbye
I'm gone, I'm gone
I ain't speaking to make a sound
Goodbye, oh no,
Goodbye
I'm gone, I'm gone
I ain't watching you falling down
Ain't it hard when you discover that
Every go around seems to come up flat
Oh, and baby, there is something you and I both know
Somebody's gotta go
Somebody's gotta go
Somebody's gotta go
Oh darlin', I'm gonna go
