What have I done

With my heart on the floor

I must be out of my mind

To come back begging for more

But if you stay

And if you just stay for the night

Swear that I'm yours

And I'll prove that I'm right

And these flies kept me sleeping

For my fear's on their wings

And your grandfather clock is still ticking

But the chime never rings

And how long must I stay

Will I lay by your side

Just to say that I'm yours

Oh, and you'll never be mine

With this love like a hole

Swallowed my soul

Dragging me down

There's blood on the covers

From curses we uttered

To each other

You played your part in this

Oh, I played hide-and-go-seek

Safe behind your veneer

Does it bury your burden baby

Makes it all disappear

But those marks on your thighs

Don't they sting when you bleed

It's the way that you are

And the way I'll forever be

When this love like a hole

Swallowed my soul

Dragging me down

There's blood on the covers

From curses we uttered

To each other

You played your part

When this love like a hole

Swallowed my soul

Dragging me down

And I swear I'll stay with you

But I just can't forgive you

And I'll never be whole again
