Olivia Chrestomanci - Between You and Me lyrics

You pulled the spirits from the throats of the bodies Billowed out like engine smoke I asked you questions and you stepped away from answers I understand each word you spoke so carefully For the secrets that you keep for fear of hurting me You were sleeping with the girl with the black eyes She held you down in the motel Swore to God that I would try to keep you good I swear to you that I will Now I'm staring as we tear along the highway Keep your gaze upon the road Wanna understand the ways you've changed It's harder and it's cold so I scan your face so carefully For the secrets that you keep for fear of hurting me You were sleeping with the girl with the black eyes And she taught you how to k** Swore to God that I would try to keep you good I swear to you that I will I got the hand that has been branded on my shoulder You feel the guilt of mismatched palms 'Cause you weren't the one who gripped me tight But you're my only home So I search your body carefully For the secrets that you keep for fear of hurting me You were sleeping with the girl with the black eyes I only wanted you to tell Because I swore to God that I would try to keep you good I swear to you that I will Because I swore to God that I would keep you good I swear to you that I will
