She looks at me like I'm a statue cut out from marble

Ruling over her cities

Stone cold but she knows how to get it hotter

Roman holidays and stirred martini's

Burn the bridge, she's a witch but I quite like it

Cast me a good night

Painting her lies white

And the only thing that keeps me from ripping her heart out

Is the cunning way she sees right through me.

I'm sown by the hip, bit my lip

Like a bad, bad trip

Overthrown, admit she's sick but I’d die for it.

And hold me in the deep

She helps me breathe,

True gold

She's in control

She's painting landscapes to escape

Slow craft with caution, cotton fields and moonlit gardens

Now and then she takes me out to see the ships in the harbor

Wishing life would be much larger

How it stings, missing wings to fly away when it gets

Harder for goodbyes

Painting her lies white and the only reason she still feels the heat in my body

Is I'm way too soft for pleading sorry.

I'm sown by the hip, bit my lip

like a bad, bad trip.

Overthrown, admit she's sick but I’d die for it

And hold me in the deep

She helps me breathe

true gold

She's in control

I'm sown by the hip, bit my lip

like a bad, bad trip.

Overthrown, admit she's sick but I’d die for it

And hold me in the deep

She helps me breathe

true gold

She's in control

I'm so obsessed sewing strings

Attached to us

Wishing you'd call us more than a fling

I'm banging on the gates begging you to let me in

I'm begging, banging,

Can’t tell if you're trying to make me swim

I'm drowning, hanging on to the cliffs

On to the cliffs

I'm drowning, hanging on to the cliffs

On to the cliffs

I'm drowning, hanging on to the cliffs

On to the cliffs

I'm drowning, hanging on to the cliffs

On to the cliffs

And hold me in the deep

She helps me breathe

true gold

She's in control
