Reluctantly Yours

lyrics

Love is the price we pay for our sins
The game isn’t fun to play and nobody wins
Someone gets bored, and everybody body gets scared
The jury is rising, the verdict’s in. It’s why the hell should we care?

If all the signs are saying run like hell
then what are you still doing standing there?
I’m not a woman, I’m a warning bell
a doomsday siren blowing through the air

This isn’t real love. It’s only a dare
Fumbling my way to you
to see if I can have an ordinary love affair

If I can love you I might live again
It’s simple way of challenging the odds
But hold on, let me catch my breath again
‘cause I can’t outrun the vengeance of the gods

Miracles can happen, sure
but you’re not dumb
You’re not on your hands and knees
You’re putting on your coat and getting ready to run
Well, don’t be alarmed but I’m blocking the door
I’m cynical and sad but still
reluctantly yours

Every time I put my hands on you
it’s like I’m lost and running in the rain
but if I never find my way again
well, I’d have to be a fool to complain
