Artful Temptress (Paint Me Senseless)
[Verse 1]
I can feel it running through my veins like a flood
Adrenaline, without even a trace of blood
[Pre-Chorus]
And every little thing that you ever said to me
Is in my head, running circles
I can't even think, I can barely catch my breath
[Chorus]
Make me believe this is our rapture
And we're both playing our part (Artful temptress)
You kept me so in the dark (Paint me senseless)
Yeah
Make me believe, I can't remember
When you were plotting this course (Sinful wordsmith)
You kept me blind to the source (Speak me worthless)
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I can hear the words repeat
"I'm not the one who suits you most"
And I know you're right
But I won't ever tell you so
[Pre-Chorus]
And every little thing that you ever said to me
Is in my head, running circles
I can't even think, I can barely catch my breath
[Chorus]
Make me believe this is our rapture
And we're both playing our part (Artful temptress)
You kept me so in the dark (Paint me senseless)
Yeah
Make me believe, I can't remember
When you were plotting this course (Sinful wordsmith)
You kept me blind to the source (Speak me worthless)
Yeah
[Bridge]
You couldn't bring yourself to own up to this
So I'll be the one to cast the stone
[Outro]
I can't breathe when I'm just laying in my bed
And though I've never been the type to second-guess
You should know some things are better left unsaid
Like when you told me that you love me back
I shouldn't have believed you then
No, I should have never asked
No, I should have never asked
No, I should have never asked
