The Only Way

everytime I think you’ll turn away
you look at me,
like i’m no stranger
everytime I feel I’ve done something wrong
you make me feel
like it’s the only thing that’s right
I guess this is what it was all about
when they talked of love
I never understood
never wanted anything
life just felt like a cruel dream
like a sick joke
and I never got the punchline

everytime you show me those hidden scars
a thousand candles,
light up in my heart
everytime you reveal the cracks in your armour
I wanna lay down my weapons
but only for awhile
I guess this what they meant
when they spoke of happiness
I never thought it was real
never wanted anything
now my confusion
has become clear
like the parting of dark clouds
there you are waiting for me
calling for me

there you are
unfolding before me
letting me in
I go in
dance to your screams of pleasure
you are my greatest treasure

here we are
surrendering
letting go
of our old ways
on our knees
serving the highs
serving the lows
and the inbetweens

the only things that’s left
after all the love we made
guess this is what the meant
never thought that it would be like this
we found each other
we’ll find a way
this is part of the game
wouldn’t want it any other way
