Sweet Vanilla

Sometimes I wonder if I pass through your mind at night And that's why you haunt my sweetest dreams all night What it takes to drive a man insane Sweet vanilla You weren't the first to leave me desolate I can only pray you'll be the last Because I'm getting tired of the paranoia And constant fear How can you all expect me to trust you When every time I do you betray me Trust is a luxury I can't afford When I know all you want is to break me How I wish to get back to basics Breathe in the sweet vanilla air Love without fear And trust without doubt But the time for that has come and gone Now my fear's become my God As I beg for your taste once again Sweet vanilla
