Did you begin to tell her all the things she wants to hear?

And did you, on the phone, say, "You are the one?"

And did you waste your time starving your heart, waiting in line for her?



You're a model prisoner

The only time you miss her

Fighting the darkness wide awake

You're a model prisoner

About the only risk you'll, you'll have to take is to escape



Slip through mercury fingers, hold on to hands that feign divine

Swallow tainted love, washed down with bitter wine

Swallow tainted love, washed down with bitter wine



It isn't often that you can be saved, find an everlasting love

But when we're broken, we hate to be broken

It's hard enough to breathe in and out

Or is hard enough to come down from the clouds



Did you ever find your way back home?
