You kissed me once,
Then left me in the dust.
Please don’t cast me aside,
Allow our love to ignite.

You lit me on fire,
Then doused me in water.
Let’s go back to the past,
So we can cast our sins in the wind.

Listen, one mistake is tragic,
A million is a statistic,
Your love drives me to commit sadistic
Actions I can’t control.

Don’t let me forget
Your lies of old.
Your lips of gold.
That your kiss foretold.
