Your only sin was your love for me
so I asked God to take it back.
With no reply I wake to find
your eyes all smeared with black.
With tears of mourn the night before
from a boy that won't take it back.
Says, 'I know I said forever,
but this time I take it back.'
With shaking hands and short replies
she falls down by my side.
And eyes too wise, our lips were tied,
there's whiskey on her breath.
And she whispers, 'Don't stop yet.'
And she arched her back and says,
'And don't think this is forever,
just until I take him back.'
So lay down
and I will whisper charm.
Is he gone yet?
You taught him lessons on your back.
And I don't know what you see in me
because behind these eyes it's black.
And there's nothing left to take from here
because addictions they won't give it back.
So run from here and make it clear
that you're not coming back,
because you almost felt like forever
but I knew I should give you back.
She's gone now.
Should I lay down on her track?
If you fall down,
I'll be your angel
all dressed in black.
I'll be your angel
all dressed in black.
