Wanting You

Take me in your arms despite my crying words,
tell me that I'll be alright though I will not believe,
promise me my sins are cleansed, my soul forgiven all,
hold me in your arms and promise me the world.

I would sleep with you, for the promise of affection,
I would sleep with you for a moment's warmth,
look me in the eyes and tell me you never meant to hurt me,
look me in the eyes and tell me I haven't seen enough.

Hold my wrist when I try to slash,
hold my hand when I try to fall,
close my mouth when I try to swallow,
close my eyes when I try to see.

I would sleep with you to have your arms around me,
I would sleep with you to make it real,
promise me the heavens and I won't believe your words,
promise me hell and I'll say I've seen it all.

I'll love you in a moment if you give me half a chance,
it's not good for me to do this, but it's not like you care,
so hold me in your arms, for a moment's all I need,
hold me with your body and it will be truth...
