i've got such a strange heart

you’ve got such a pretty soul

but i'd use it for what i want

not what you need.

and your heart would be chained instead of free.

if we did.

i can almost imagine our lives together

drunk on a song on a highway

and lying on the ground at 2am

and damn how badly i want to be under your sheets.

both of our bodies to take, no secrets to keep.

if we did.

and i thought about holding your hand

but instead i went to bed

i'll keep you safe you said

and so i followed you wherever you led.

and the roses you would give me would be so red

if we did.

if we did love each other.

i would never choose another

and i would always be your lover

your arms would be my safety and my cover

but you would soon discover

we could never love each other.
