Do you know, babe, just how long been lonely for your touch?
Anticipating, dying, waiting--on fire, in deep, blood rush
Dreams of you, forbidden fruit, don't look, don't speak, can't touch
Hard temptation, my frustration, I want you way too much
Such a beautiful curse
I'm my own saboteur
Such a shame, shame, shame this game keeps me
Inside sleeping woods it's understood
Don't go where you'll get lost
Consumed and bound, don't make a sound,
Too late the line's been crossed
So dark and deep, these promises I keep
Keep guilty lovers tame
This chill in the air, threatens and dares
To blow out our lovers' flame
Oh, such a beautiful curse
I'm my own saboteur
Don't wanna know, or weep, or speak of you so much it hurts
But you're the only one
I got the right to be wrong
Such a shame, shame, shame this game keeps me
And the sky keeps crying out
As every star bends to hear
Sick to death of my excuses
Sick to death of all my fears
But the bogeyman keeps talkin'
Whispers death into my ear
And these wounds they run so deeply
And this pain is far too real
Such a beautiful curse
I'm my own saboteur
Don't wanna know, or weep, or speak of you so much it hurts
But you're the only one
I got the right to be wrong
Such a shame, shame, shame this game keeps me
Shame shame shame this game keeps me
Shame shame shame this game keeps me
