Live For Danger

I never meant to love you, I never meant to care I never meant to cross the line or change a thing, I swear You never could call what we have a sordid, cheap affair There's a faint reek of stagnation and confusion in the air I always thought I knew you, you and I, we are the same I'd laugh off jokes of romance and the daft things you proclaim I don't know if my burning cheeks are cause by hope or shame You keep your hand on mine to hold my fingers to the flame I wonder how you do it, with warnings you should come Chase the latest gambit to crush beneath your thumb I fear you live for danger and have only just begun I'll let you play me one last time, but please, Don't think you've won. 19th November 2011
