Tell me a story, of saints and of sinners
Weaving words like deadly vine, spare no beginners
Fixated and frozen I nod without reason
Looking blindly at the sun, you’re nothing I’m needin’
You tell me you’re working, the hours are hell
Caught up in traffic at 10pm, well…
I’m in this too deep and I want all of you
That means that your lies will all become true
I’ll believe what you want me to, coz I love you
Mama she warned me, lord I never listen
Sweet devil burned me so, I can’t be forgiven, no
Didn’t see that I let you, get away with murder
Plunged the knife in so good, and I drove it in further
You promise the world but we never go out
Say I light you up, but then you let me down
I’m twisted inside, coz I want all of you
That means that your lies will all become true
I’ll believe what you want me to, coz I love you
Right now, I’m ashamed of who I am,
Not proud of what is happening, oh
I’ve been sinking so low,
I can’t help it, when I want you so, but you’ll never know
Tell me a story, tell me a winner.
Coz you have me wrapped around your little finger
You say that you love me, but not to my face
Run fast as I can in this losing race
Can’t breathe I cant sleep coz I want all of you
That means that your lies will all become true
I’ll believe what you want me to
I’ll believe what you want me to
I’ll believe what you want me to, coz I love you
