V1

 

Self sabotage is my middle name,

over thinking is my favourite game,

when it comes to pleasure -

I refrain;

love is a pandora's box of pain.

 

I've told you every flaw that I possess

(that I can think of,)

that I don't like to undress

(with the lights on.)

I've told you every-thin'

I'll never do

and now you're laughin'-

cause you know it's not true...

​

Chorus 1

 

I'm a complicated contradiction,

you are my addiction -

teach me everything, that I don't know

about myself.

Determined to make me feel alive,

find what's suppressed

what I try to hide;

I ache and crave for your touch.

​

What is this wave I'm riding?

I'm shakin' and my body's writhing,

as I bear my body I bear my soul..

and I'm sure this isn't....

very rock and roll...

​

V2

​

And now the lid has blown off

(and you are in..)

and I don't know who I am

(or who I said I've been)

and I'm in a place I said I'd never go again -

this was never gonna be just friends

​

Chorus 2

​

and I've a patchwork heart,

from the wrong lovers,

swore I'd never take another;

here you are 

bursting through my seams.

​

Time to put the past behind me -

promise me you'll always try to find me;

even if I seem hard to reach.

And what an affliction,

to be such a complicated contradiction -

you give me the hope I can be fixed.

​

Implicitly I seem to trust you, 

Think it must be cause' I love you

and now I'm at the mercy 

of your hand...

​

All exposed and all revealing,

kissing my lips takes a brand new meaning;

tranced in the waves of ecstasy.

The wistful look says I'm enamoured,

I'm the naked platter you devoured -

hold me so tight you put together

all my broken bits...
