Bitten

 

Verse 1

You climbed inside, your eyes so wise, I couldn’t rise,

To kick you sideways,

You were turning, needing, needing, needing.

 

Verse 2

A sweet caress, a silken dress, a false duress,

To keep the passion high, high, high, high, high.

 

Pre-chorus 1

You are like an addict looking for a hit,

And I was stupidly flattered to be it.

When you’d had your fill you tossed me to the side,

Discarded, longing.

 

Chorus

Bitten by your heart, bitten by your heart.

Bitten by your love, bitten by your love

X 2

 

Verse 3

In the ashes of this once alive, hidden crime,

I step outside,

A stranger in my own life.

 

Pre-chorus 2

Now everything you have touched is tainted by a beloved lie,

A distant sigh,

A person I believed was real.

But you knew exactly what to say to get me to open up, to be your love,

And now I just can’t be touched, I’m,

 

Chorus and Outro

Bitten by your love, bitten by your love

Bitten by your heart, bitten by your heart.

X 2
