lyrics

The bonds of love
are not easily broken.
They tie two hearts together
beyond their last words spoken.

But it was so long ago
that I was faithfully tied.
The bonds of love will bind you
long after love has died.

And what I need now is not stability.
Respectability has no value
against the feeling you give me.

Tell me, “We shouldn’t do this”,
and I will nod and say,
“This will be the last time
See you next week, same place, same day.”

I keep your picture in my top drawer,
behind a family portrait, in a frame.
And it keeps my desire to a dull roar
‘til I’m at your door again.

I know I’m no good.
I know that I’ve done wrong.
But love is never so simple
as sickly sweet love songs.

And if I must be tortured,
it’ll be by your hands only.
Sometimes even torture
is better than being lonely.

And what I need now is not forgiveness.
This rotten business has no ending,
only the feeling you give me.
