My Broken Heart

You keep tempting me,
a serpent’s apple.

I just want one taste.

But I have to resist
letting you in
on this secret…

that I lose myself
when I’ve with you
and at the same time
feel more comfortable
in my own skin
than I’ve ever felt.

You’re the greatest paradox…

my sweetest conquest
but my bitter downfall.

A poison disguised as love.

You are tempting me,
a serpent’s apple.

I just want one taste.

But I have to resist
letting you in
on this secret…

that I lose myself
when I’ve with you
and at the same time
feel more comfortable
in my own skin
than I’ve ever felt.

You’re the greatest paradox…

my sweetest conquest
but my bitter downfall.

A poison disguised as love.
