I whisper your name seven times in the midnight hour
I see your face in the place of mine when I look in the mirror

Fell in love with a pretty picture
A dream of my lying youth
Fell too deep into that sweet rapture
Never realized the hidden truth

The more you want
The less you get
Giving it up is the
Safest bet

You found out just how I felt
Learned all about my mind
Didn't look at the cards Lady Luck dealt
Never knew we weren't two of a kind

So sweet is hatred without affection
Like sex lacking all emotion

The more you want
The less you get
Giving it up is the
Safest bet

Fell in love with the way you played me
Loved the way you yanked my chain
Got to hate the way you used me
After all I really had was pain

* So sweet is hatred without affection
Like sex lacking all emotion
How long can you be dead inside
Before you die
How long before you give up
And just cave in *

Got my mind set on the way it should be
Denied the existence of your girlfriend
I figured you would be my destiny
But even lust must come to an end

The more you want
The less you get
Giving it up is the
Safest bet

Just let go

*

Just let go

We look alike
We act alike
Just like you like it
We are alike

I'm sick of being just a fabulous fuck
Sick of taking it all, sick of facing the fall
I'm sick of being a tool for your powertrip
Sick of you flauntig me, sick of you doing me

Make me wait
Turn your back on me
Make songs about me
You're in my song now
