Lyrics:
With benediction in her eyes
Our dearest gods are not surprised
You better hold your lover down
And tie him to the ground
Whisper I love you one thousand times into his ear
Kiss his eyes and don't you cry girl he won't disappear
I know better than to let you go
With benediction in her mind
She will never get you back in time
You better hold your lover down
And tie her to the ground
Simple pleasure strike like lightning scratches spell her name
Thunder demons swipe her halo then they run away
I know better than to let her go
With benediction in her eyes
Our dearest gods are not surprised
You better hold your lover down
And tie her to the ground
Simple pleasure strike like lightning scratches cross her name
Whisper I love you my darling life is just a flame
I know better than to let her go
I know better than to let you go

@WeAllLoveHomeVideos - I assume you're American, there's probably a lot more stations than here in the UK. None of which play good music really.

@IMadLarkin I heard this on the radio the first time

@rainbowtrainnn Doesn't matter if the ex is right for her or not, people are going to do what they want even if it's not something good for her.

i heard this song on the radio the other day after my girlfriend broke up with me. she said she's all confused cause she thinks she still has feelings for her ex. even though she says she loves me & all.. well i was just going to try & get over her. i was really close to it. cause i was like heartbroken. but i heard this song & it completely changed my mind. i better hold my lover down cause i know that ex isnt right for her
