To say the things I want to say to you would be a crime
To admit Im still in love with you after all this time
Id rather let you touch my arm until you die
Seduce with me with your charms until Im drunk on them
Go home and drink in bed
And never let myself be in love like that again
Light a cigarette and think of you and walk away
Turning all the words around in my head I wont say
Because all of these triangles and squares
the memory we seem to share
replays a distant love that plays my records on
Ne-ver let my-self love like that again
(Continue)
Ne-ver let my-self love like that again
To say the words I want to say to you would be a lie
By the time I get the courage, I am drunk and you are tired
Alone in this basement where I will write these songs
The things Ill never say to you again and you know why
Ne-ver let my-self love like that again
Ne-ver let my-self love like that again
Ne-ver let my-self love like that again
Ne-ver let my-self love like that again
