[Verse 1]
Pardon me
Kissing you like I'm afraid
But I know I'm being played
And you'll leave me when you get the chance

[Verse 2]
Off you'll go
In the darkness of the night
Like a bird in freedom's flight
You're looking only for deliverance

[Verse 3]
Close your eyes
And pretend that you are me
See how empty it can be now
Making love when love's not really there

[Verse 4]
Watch me go
Watch me walk away alone
As your clothing comes undone
And as you pull the ribbons from your hair
Pardon me
