Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please, baby, can't you see
My mind's a burnin' hell
I got razors a-rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
My heart apart as well
Tonight, you told me
That you ache for something new
'Cause some other woman is lookin' like something
That might be good for you
[PreChorus]
Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on, believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong
[Chorus]
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
And I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
[Verse 2]
Please, baby, can't you see
I'm trying to explain
I've been here before and I'm locking the door
And I'm not going back again
Her eyes and arms and skin won't make it go away
You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
That holds you down today
[PreChorus]
Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on, believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong
[Chorus]
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
And I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
[PreChorus]
Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong
[Chorus]
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
And I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
And I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
[Outro]
I'm the only one
I'm the only one
Ain't nobody else is gonna love you
Nobody else is gonna love you
