[Verse 1]

Sleep well my friend

You must be tired

I wouldn't blame myself

I'm different

[Verse 2]

Now don't be foolish

No one keeps their promise

How could you know?

When I would be so

[Chorus 1]

You can't escape the grips of desire;

You lie to yourself, but you'll always remember

[Verse 3]

Your love stung like a bee

Keep that stuff away from me, use caution

Shouldn't I forgive him? I would know

Don't wanna let it grow like poison

[Verse 4]

Now don't be silly

No one clears their conscience

Blown out proportion

Silly me, I cried, for weeks, an ocean

[Chorus 1]

You can't escape the grips of desire;

You lie to yourself, but you'll always remember

[Bridge]

What can I say? Nothing can change

[Chorus 1]

You can't escape the grips of desire;

You lie to yourself, but you'll always remember

[Chorus 2]

You can't escape the grips of desire;

And you lose yourself

Then you lose yourself

Can't forgive yourself, oh no
