Temptation Waits

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'll tell you something

I am a wolf but

I like to wear sheep's clothing

I am a bonfire

I am a vampire

I'm waiting for my moment

You come on like a drug

(Temptation waits)

I just can't get enough

(Here's to your fate)

I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more

(Can't stay much longer)

And there's so much at stake

(Temptation waits)

I can't afford to waste

(I heard you say)

I never needed anybody like this before

(Don't say it's over)

I'll tell you something

I am a demon

Some say my biggest weakness

I have my reasons

Call it my defense

Be careful what you're wishing

You come on like a drug

(Temptation waits)

I just can't get enough

(Here's to your fate)

I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more

(Can't stay much longer)

And there's so much at stake

(Temptation waits)

I can't afford to waste

(I heard you say)

I never needed anybody like this before

(Don't say it's over)

You are a secret

A new possession

I like to keep you guessing

You come on like a drug

(Temptation waits)

I just can't get enough

(Here's to your fate)

I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more

(Can't stay much longer)

And there's so much at stake

(Temptation waits)

I can't afford to waste

(Temptation waits)

I never needed anybody like this before

When I'm not sure what I'm living for

(When I'm not sure who I am)

When I'm not sure what I'm looking for

(When I'm not sure who I am)

When I'm not sure what I'm living for

(When I'm not sure who I am)

When I'm not sure what I'm looking for

(When I'm not sure who I am)

When I'm not sure what I'm living for

When I'm not sure what I'm looking for

When I'm not sure what I'm living for
