Breathing You In Tonight

I dont want you to give me the world
I wouldnt want to carry that burden
I dont want a poem or sonnet
Declarations of love in your scrawling print
Dont feel the need to tell me that Im the one
When we both know that Im not
You dont need to whisper your desires into my hair
You would conquer my hear no matter what you say tonight
Dont tell me things arent how they seem
When shes the one youll be dreaming of tonight
Dont patronize me by saying Im such a pretty little thing
Not when you dont know how un-pretty I am under this skin
For one last night Ill pretend I dont see forever in your gaze
Ill lower myself to your level once more
Denying that I want to be more than what I am
Forgetting who we both are
Ill be your plaything
Do with me that you please
Kiss me, lie to me, tell me it will be ok
Why dont you want to forget the rest of the world
When my head rests on your chest
Why doesnt your hand against my cheek
Capture every piece of your essence
Why are you thinking of her when youre with me
Dont you see the torture in my eyes
Why do you pretend youre blind to what Im thinking
What would it take to be worth it to you
Who would I have to be to make you leave with me
Well, I guess youve decided to settle for me tonight
Pretending not to know that you mean everything to me
Using my body without looking me in the eye
Closing your own so you can better see hers
And in the end youll fulfill your need
Ill pretend it didnt mean more to me
When your kisses still cling to every inch of my being tomorrow morning
Ill scrape you from my flesh
Throw each one out with the rest of my yearnings
The thoughts, feelings, hopes, words
The way your skin felt against mine
Ill fill in the imprint you left on my soul
It will heal soon enough
And I sweep out all our trash
But, tonight Ill forget about whats in store
Please dont move, just lay there
Im breathing you in tonight
Making a memory to haunt me for a life-time
