Scare Me To Death Lyrics - Joe Henry

I've seen the best 

And the worst you can be 

And all while you're getting 

The better of me 

You're fragile but wicked 

And fleeting as breath 

And you move up behind me 

And scare me to death 

You're fragile but wicked 

And fleeting as breath 

And you move up behind me 

And scare me to death 

At war between 

All good intentions and greed 

My love is the kind 

Where want becomes need 

Where lust takes the toll 

Of a quick stolen breath 

You stir within me 

And scare me to death 

Where lust takes the toll 

Of a quick stolen breath 

You stir within me 

And scare me to death 

A dose now 

Of either heart or of mind 

Can be lethal, it seems 

If they're not combined 

They show but contempt 

When considered as two 

And pretend that each 

Is the other to you 

Now you spit in your hands 

And haul on the rope 

And fill up my cup 

With the worst kind of hope 

You lift me with words 

I haven't found yet 

I fall like your shadow 

And you scare me to death 

You sleep here beside me 

And scare me to death 

You sleep here beside me 

And you scare me to death
