Lyrics

I don't know if it's his sweat on your breath
but its warm and its fresh
it questions your purity
I can't tell if I'm tasting your sin
But your under my skin
And I still want you here with me

I think you got your heart
I think you earned the right
Although you didn't mean to
You took them that first night
Well I'm Still here three years Later
I'm still a parasite and I'm longing
but I'm never right for you

Now the words are in your mouth
You paint me all the shades of doubt
but if you let me in thought
you'd never get me out

Now everybody's laughing
they cannot understand
If I write you in these stories
I'm holding out my hand
for a scrap of your attention
a minute of your time
for a life time
a life time of mine

Now the words are in your mouth
You paint me all the shades of doubt
but if you let me in thought
you'd never get me out

Now time is running out
I have to speak my mind
for every door that you are closing
I'm standing right behind
with every word and every action
you found so easy to taint

Because everyone you know
has a picture to paint

I remember when you kissed me for thrills
well I'm laying there still
Trying to keep your secrecy

Do I still taste of your sin?
Yes you are under my skin
But I still want you here with me!
