Love Like Sin

She rises late again and steps over her torn bloodstained dress
She finds her way to the mirror and holds her aching head
As she recalls the fury the bruises don't seem all that bad
She takes the hair of the dog and a cigarette

Love's like a breeze in the summer
It blows like the wind in a hurricane
It floats on the wings of an angel
It burns like a flame from the devil himself

He says he loves you like sin
He says he wants you, he needs you like the air that he breathes
He says believe me, I'm so sorry, this won't happen again

A flashing light in the hallway
A message on her answerphone
Another chance, another sorry
Why can't he leave her alone?

He says he loves her like sin so let's make it up and paint the town red
She wipes a tear from her eye as the circle goes on without end

Love's like a breeze in the summer
It blows like the wind in a hurricane
It floats on the wings of an angel
It burns like a flame from the devil himself

He says he loves you like sin
He says he wants you, he needs you like the air that he breathes
He says believe me, I'm so sorry, this won't happen again

She lays motionless still the tracks of her tears on her face
And so today her lover was a razor blade.

Love's like a breeze in the summer
It blows like the wind in a hurricane
It floats on the wings of an angel
It burns like a flame from the devil himself

He says he loves you like sin
He says he wants you, he needs you like the air that he breathes
He says believe me, I'm so sorry, this won't happen again
