[Verse 1]

In this place we lie cutting slightly in vain

Hoping and praying you'll remember my name

If only tonight, and only tonight

You'll write back here

I swear I'm done

Take your advice 'cause it's easy to see

This so called romance never wanted me

If only tonight, and only tonight

You'll write back here

I swear I'll cut

'Til crimson falls

Over the bedroom walls

[Chorus]

So will you lay me down tonight?

And we'll be better off today

[Verse 2]

(Two, three, four)

Between you and I, it's the two-step I crave

Morbidly swaying to a dying refrain

If only tonight, and maybe tonight

You'll write back here (I'm so sincere)

[Chorus]

So will you lay me down tonight?

And we'll be better off today

And I would die if you never got to know

But would it do more harm this way?

And we'll go

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

(Oh, oh)

Oh

(Oh, oh)

Wow

[Chorus]

So will you lay me down tonight?

And we'll be better off today

And I would die if you never got to know

But would it do more harm this way?
