Tears for Attention

(difford/tilbrook)

Tears for attention, heard all through the night

What is it you want from me, the last seconds of the fight

Kisses of corruption, tempt the spider from his web

Caught between the white sheets that have fallen from your bed

Heart for inspection, check the beat against the pain

The fight that came to break us up puts us back together again

Twitches of excitement give away my secret thoughts

Love was a book at bedtime, now that book has learned to talk

I get tears for attention

Kisses of corruption

With you

When I'm with you

Tears for attention dry upon a smiling face

Apologies and promises bring love back together again

Kisses of affection, lips that touch without a trace

The idea of conception puts the smile back on my face

I get tears for attention

Kisses of affection

And I do when I'm with you
