lyrics

Black Window

We’ve never touched,
Our love is such
That if we do it's bound to be much too much.

It's wrong to lust,
It's worse to lie,
That’s why I won’t deny myself, now it's do or die.

Why’s your window black,
You always leave a little light?
You weren’t expecting me tonight
Though I said that I’d be back.
If you knew the damage done,
All the hearts I had to break,
I’ve left chaos in my wake
Just to stand here on my own.
You can’t believe how far I’ve come,
How many people in my way
I knocked down on my way,
And now, my love, I’m on the run.

We’ve never touched,
Our love is such
That if we do it's bound to be much too much.

It's wrong to lust,
It's worse to lie,
That’s why I won’t deny myself, now it's do or die.

Why’s your front door locked,
You always leave it on the latch?
Was I expecting far too much?
Or have your feelings for me stopped?
I wasn’t gone for all that long,
I’ll have to break into your home
Now I have nothing of my own.
Here’s where I belong.
I can’t believe I’m on the run
From my impending trial
I’ll have to stop now for a while
Like everything else since we begun.
