It's not enough that I love you There's all these things I have to prove to you You use the sun to erase the past But you think it only erases for you Well I'm afraid of being hurt that's true But I'm not afraid of any physical pain Just as I am always scared of women But not afraid of standing out in the rain The last bosom in the room she hugged Was the bosom that the loved the most Nobody noticed I was down on the rug I'm getting better at becoming a ghost I know that you want more But would you fight for my love? In the heart that you bid for But can you ignore my love? No walking out my back door Looking back for my love I know that you want more But would you fight for my love? People do their best to not let passion begin If stepping forward has a chance to start If so then I am the caretaker of sins And you're a bandit in my malignant heart It's such a blessing to sing with you together Making love when there is nobody home But I can't get you till you lift up your chin You have to want to start being alone I want you to fight for my love
