Lyrics

I Never Slept In Yours

You slept in my bed, 
but I never slept in yours
You slept in my bed, 
but I never slept in yours
You opened your windows 
but I never could break through your doors

That’s all right, I know the score
That’s all right, been here before 
Turn off the light, sleep on the floor tonight

You danced in my kitchen, 
but I never cooked on your fire
You danced in my kitchen, 
but I never cooked on your fire
I starved at your table, 
can’t live on words and desire

You sat in my office, 
but I never wrote in your book
You sat in my office, 
but I never wrote in your book
My words contradict, 
but you can see what I mean if you look

That’s all right, I know the score
That’s all right, been here before 
Forget polite, there is no more in sight

You washed in my tub, 
but I never stood in your shower
You washed in my tub, 
but I never stood in your shower
I prayed once for your mercy, 
I prayed twice for your power

That’s all right, I know the score
That’s all right, been here before 
I can’t, you might, I won’t, no more, you’re right

You dreamed at my fireplace, 
but your couch never comforted me
You dreamed at my fireplace, 
but your couch never comforted me
You hide the heart in your heart 
that will pay any price to be free
Can’t touch the heart in your heart 
that no one else even sees
The heart of your heart 
will pay any price to be free
