THE STORY:
The war between promiscuity and love elusive. SOS from the battlefield.
THE LYRICS:
When I’m shining in the light and I feel like someone
When I cower in the dark and I feel like no one
In the arms of some stranger who does not know me
I can talk it so good even I believe me
I hide under the covers so they don’t see me naked
And I talk like I care but I only fake it
Then I spit at the face that I wanna touch softly
While I’m lying under people
That I wanna get off me
Chorus:
So I’m gonna take some time
And love myself for a little while
I’m not afraid of the dark
So why can’t I sleep alone
I never think of you when I sleep with people
Cause you made me melt and they make me freeze
I have more to offer than another orgasm
I’m stronger standing on my feet
Than down on my knees
I tell people when I meet them I’m a little bit crazy
(I’m not crazy)
Well I’m the sanest crazy person you know
(And you don’t know me)
And you’re still hating my existence
(And I still love you)
Well I hate myself a little bit too, ya know
Repeat Chorus
When I lay down when I lay down
You’re the one I want next to me
And I can see ‘round I can see ‘round
All this insincerity
When I lay down when I lay down
You’re the one I want next to me
But when it comes down when it comes down
I need only me to take care of me
(I love you like you never could)
