i thought you weren't contagious i thought i owned my inner-self

you offer, now i forget the reason i can't have

as you try hard to please me this need turns to greed down inside

i touch the hand of my sickness and feel my faith divide



if i said i would, would you care? would you take me there?

and feed my desire with your will to give



a distant storm and the lightning strikes the pouring rain feels warm tonight

thunder echoes and the lesson begins as one more time you take me in

but i look back at you and think of all the things i should have said and done

but i can't talk no i can't talk i try to hide myself from shame

and try to share the blame for what i've done what have i done?



now i said i would, do you care as you take me there

i taste my first time and now i can't turn away

i lie to myself like a man trying to understand

as you change my life with your will to give



i see disgrace and it's looking back at me

blame my desire for lies i live and breathe

begin again though the hardest part to take

behind my eyes you still remain



i thought you'd understand when you took me there

the hardest part to take you still remain
