Desire gets in the way
You cant hide such an ugly trait
I know its not easy
When everything you wants within in your reach
But better the bed you know
Than the bed that you dont
This fire burns incessantly
I cant lie, I kind of like the pain
I know youll put it out
You always put it out before it consumes me
For you, Ill remain
Chained to the bed we made
But I get to choose your lingerie
Well lie here forever
Like condemned criminals on trial
Im down for whatever
The uglier, the better
