Manic Street Preachers
Dear Stephen
[Verse 1]
You're, you're still my bad habit
My, a dark little secret
My illicit unseen drug
My secret hidden love
[Chorus]
Dear Stephen, please come back to us
I believe in repentance and forgiveness
It's so easy to hate, it takes guts to be kind
To paraphrase one of your heartbreak lines
[Verse 2]
I'm still ill, I'm cursed to stay
Under your spell for all my days
I'm still a prisoner to you and Larkin
Even as your history darkens
[Chorus]
Dear Stephen, please come back to us
I believe in repentance and forgiveness
It's so easy to hate, it takes guts to be kind
To paraphrase one of your heartbreak lines
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
I've been the boy with the thorn in his side
I want you vivid in your prime
[Outro]
Dear Stephen, please come back to us
I believe in repentance and forgiveness
It's so easy to hate, it takes guts to be kind
To paraphrase one of your heartbreak lines
