Marianne

Separate your feelings from the truth
I can't get too close to you
Just pretend that I'm a ghost
And I promise, I'll be good to you
Here in the darkness of our room
Like this secret, I'll keep you
And the love we make is sacred
Just take care to leave no proof

I promise I won't say a word
We both know I don't deserve this
I'm just lucky to be loveable
My entirety is yours
I can't stop aching for your touch
Will it ever be enough
For the first time in my life
I swear that things are looking up

I find it difficult to choose
Which me I am with you
I slip my skin effortlessly
Depending on whose in the room
But lately I just can't deny
You are always on my mind
I can't shake the feeling
That God himself made you for me by design

Here in the darkness I'm ok
I'm in my old familiar ways
But I admit that there are times
When I can't take another day
Well I have nothing left to lose
So here and now, I'll tell the truth
If I ever had a choice in this life
You're the man I'd choose

It feels like years since I've seen you
What did we get ourselves into
To be honest I can't bear the weight
Of this life without you
And just who the fuck does he think he is
That he could treat your heart like this
Say the word and I will rip us out
Of the hole in which we exist

Who am I without your love?
Who am I without your love?

I am not myself
In the quiet dark
As long as you're away

Marianne
Why are we always so beleaguered
Marianne
Know you're my one
Marianne
I can no longer keep you secret, no
Marianne
My word is blood
