With a straight face you told me
I was formed by an angry god
When our ship was going down
They needed volunteers you gave me the nod
Time and fate conspire
They're all against you
My broken heart
Evidence against you
But I won't take that stand
Ain't gonna testify
I don't want to sleep alone without you every night
And I don't know how I'll do it night after night
With a cold heart you showed me
Ex-lovers who could bring me harm
You twist the knife so slowly,
My God you have a vicious charm
You held me in such contempt
You held me up for ransom
You'd always come right back to me
I didn't think because I was handsome
I can wait a while
Until we reconcile
I don't want to sleep alone without you every night
And I don't know how I'll do it night after night
Tasty school day nights
Elevating fights
Like engineers
Undressing right
Assessing slights
Collecting fears
I used to stare at your picture and pray for you
You used to look at me as prey
And I don't want asleep alone without you every night
And I don't think I can do it night after night
Why don't we make the best of a bad thing
Why don't we make the best of a bad thing
