Litost Lyrics - The Ambassadors

What have I done? 

With my heart on the floor 

I must be out of my mind 

To come back begging for more 

But if you stay 

If you just stay for the night 

Swear that I'm yours 

And I'll prove that I'm right 

And these flies kept me sleeping 

All my fears on their wings 

And your grandfather clock is still ticking 

But the chime never rings 

And how long must I stay? 

Will I lay by your side 

Just to say that I'm yours 

And you'll never be mine 

With this love like a hole 

Swallow my soul 

Draggin me down 

And there's blood on the covers 

From the curses we uttered 

To each other 

You played your part in this 

Why play hide and go seek? 

Safe behind your veneer 

Does it bury your burden baby? 

Makes it all disappear 

But those marks on your thighs 

Don't they sting when you bleed? 

It's the way that you are 

And the way I'll forever be 

With this love like a hole 

Swallow my soul 

Draggin me down 

And there's blood on the covers 

From the curses we uttered 

To each other 

You played your part 

With this love like a hole 

Swallowed my soul 

Draggin me down 

And I swear I'll stay with you 

But I just can't forgive you 

And I'll never be whole again
