don't cry out

i don't get you.
i can't forget what you've forgotten all along--
i've never been so alone.

don't cry out...
cease fire...

i was pretending
your secret kiss of confidence was my escape,
the perfect game to play.

don't cry out...
cease fire...

ten, nine, eight, and i'm breaking away;
i'm all dressed up and ready to play.
seven, six, five, four, and i'm all over you,
counting three, two, one, and i'm having fun...

your fascination
with naked walls of silk and skin,
with no conditions...
i needed you to notice--
that's all i wanted!

don't cry out...
cease fire...

ten, nine, eight, and i'm breaking away;
i'm all dressed up and ready to play.
seven, six, five, four, and i'm all over you,
counting three, two, one, and i'm having fun...

ten, nine, eight, and i'm breaking away;
i'm all dressed up and ready to play.
seven, six, five, four, and i'm all over you,
counting three, two, one, and i'm having fun...

don't cry out!
cease fire!
