lyrics

Come inside, spend the night with me
Tell a lie, tell me that you see
Something like a future in these sheets

And when you ask me to tell you what this means
I'll close my eyes, pretend that I'm asleep
Try to hide the truth that's underneath

Cause what am I to say?
What am I to do?
When you're looking for an answer
You're not looking for the truth
You're just trying to get away
From a cold and empty room
And I'm playing innocent with you

So trace my hand, and tell me that you see
foreign lands, and plans to live with me.
But I understand, that I'm just warm, and you've got needs
Please shut the lights off when you leave

Cause what am I to say?
What am I to do?
When you're looking for an answer
You're not looking for the truth
You're just trying to get away
From a cold and empty room
So keep me warm and fill the space
And I will shelter you from days
Where you have learned to play a role
You have learned the proper way
To hide that deep down underneath
There is nothing you believe
You're playing innocent with me

But I hear your soul speak
When you're lonely
When you hold me darling
And I feel the slow creep
Of your heartbeat
When you can't sleep on me
And I wish that I was strong
Cause I would try to sing along
And you'd be happy
But as we fumble in the dark
And with our hearts
I know that love is not to take
To love is not to take
But we do it anyway
Yeah we do it anyway

To love is not to take
But we do it anyway
