Tainted Love

Tainted love Our love is usual Some would say toxic We like to say passionate Like thorns on a rose Bleeding as I pull them from the rosebush Can’t you see I bleed for you? The pain is our love Tugging on the strings Our family praying that our love will come unraveled Baby our love is so fragile Yet we dance stomping on eggshells Ignoring the warnings Flashing like a sign warning Watch out!! We pay no mind Into danger we ride Swaying to our own rhythm As we love till the night fades Till the night sky Gives birth to the sunlight Coming off this high Are you ready for another taste? Open your mouth Open your mind Open your heart As I invade your innermost parts Taking with me a part of you Leaving behind a part of me Slowly we peel back this fake image To reveal our true faces For the first time We now see eye to eye Let us run into the sun The burning heat Is unmatched by the fire from our desires Unmatched by our tainted love The question remains Are you an angel from heaven? Did the devil send to collect his prize? You said there will be no lies Speak the truth Hush now as I listen to your heart say The words your mouth can not Will this stop me from loving you? I am not gypsy Your cards I can not read Our future is unknown By the way we love It has already been shown Like a pistol blown A bullet straight to the heart By these words I bleed out my soul To you a gift Open it if you must Into your hand I trust Is this real or straight lust?
