Queen of Spades

Comfort me Queen of Spades Hearts are just for show Tired of putting my own on the market of trades There are no benefits and the profits are low Promises are never kept and the one to suffer is the pure of soul Comfort me Queen of Spades Let me play pretend in your arms I need love even if it's fake Been hurt so many times before that one more time don't do anymore harm My feelings are numb to heartbreak At last I understand the stakes Give me love even if it's not mine to take Comfort me Queen of Spades Kiss the edge of my scars Replace the memories of pain with pleasure The moon was too high so let me sleep among the stars You don't have to remember my name, no pressure Just treat me gently, everything else can be taken at your leissure To love or not to love, these are just emotions that don't have to be measured Not labelled, but are treasured Comfort me Queen of Spades Temporarily I want to believe we are meant to be It already feels long term in my mind So I'll smile while it lasts until you say goodbye to me But I have to have this story even if we leave it behind Comfort me Queen of Spades Tomorrow comes and with the dawn this one night stand fades
