permission to love me
I used to sleep in the clothes I'd wear to school
& I'd be changing with the lights off at the pool
Cos you couldn't bear to touch me
No, you wouldn't dare to trust me
I was your doting lover, starved of touch
Pure altruism in its finest form
You were addictive
You were self-inflicted
Can I ask one thing of you
Can I have permission to love me, again
Maybe the time has passed
For us to reconcile, but I need you in my corner
So please work with me this time around
Cos I know we deserve a second chance
You were an angel that had fallen into hell
Disgraced by torpor, you said you'd cure me with a spell
Instead, you purged me
Of all the things that made me
Can I ask one thing of you
Can I have permission to love me, again
Maybe the time has passed
For us to reconcile, but I need you in my corner
So please work with me this time
Try to let go
It's time that we healed now
It's painful, I know
So please work with me this time around
Just trust in me, I'll make you proud
You don't have to chastise me anymore
Yeah, you were cruel, but I was too
Oh God you were so innocent
I'll bring you back the love they stole from you
& I'd be changing with the lights off at the pool
Cos you couldn't bear to touch me
No, you wouldn't dare to trust me
I was your doting lover, starved of touch
Pure altruism in its finest form
You were addictive
You were self-inflicted
Can I ask one thing of you
Can I have permission to love me, again
Maybe the time has passed
For us to reconcile, but I need you in my corner
So please work with me this time around
Cos I know we deserve a second chance
You were an angel that had fallen into hell
Disgraced by torpor, you said you'd cure me with a spell
Instead, you purged me
Of all the things that made me
Can I ask one thing of you
Can I have permission to love me, again
Maybe the time has passed
For us to reconcile, but I need you in my corner
So please work with me this time
Try to let go
It's time that we healed now
It's painful, I know
So please work with me this time around
Just trust in me, I'll make you proud
You don't have to chastise me anymore
Yeah, you were cruel, but I was too
Oh God you were so innocent
I'll bring you back the love they stole from you
