lyrics

In the dark there's a place where I wait
Not much to see, but I like it that way
I could leave any time I want
But a little voice tells me
I'm not quite strong enough

Here you come, like the light in my nightmares
I can picture our bed and I just want to be held there
I'm ready for something new,
But something buried could be the death of you

My lips are lies
My tongue is a slippery slope
Try to catch yourself on your way down
But you'll only make it worse

Don't be mine unless you want to
I'm a little afraid I might try to compel you
So don't listen to me
I haven't been known for speaking too carefully

Take this pain and show me something that I lack
Feels like I'm going insane just trying to hold this back
I never wanted to hurt you baby
I guess I haven't been feeling myself lately

My lips are lies
My tongue is a slippery slope
Try to catch yourself on your way down
But you'll only make it worse

I know that this could take me all night
I would write it all down, but the words just won't come out right
Was it love, or just the way our lips touched underneath that cold bar light?
I know that this could take me all night

I know that I could be a good man
I'll show you if you just hold my hand
I know that I could be a good man
I'll show you I can be a good man
Yes I can
