The Mistress

[Verse 1]

I was thinking some day

I'll grow out of this phase

What a big mistake that was.

Is it love that we make

I'm caught up in this maze

Wish it hadn't have begun.

I'm too weak to leave.

Cause God I can't stand myself no more.

She calls me angel

But that ain't the truth

You know, you know



[Chorus]

And even though it's wrong

That I'm living such a lie

I just can't leave you alone

The more that we go on this guilt

Just builds up inside

Still I can't leave you alone



No I just can't leave my mistress

No I just can't leave my mistress

And why do you feel like something

That I shouldn't hide

I just can't leave you alone



[Verse 2]

She wakes me with a kiss

And coffee in my bed

After I just crept in

Way after six

Smelling of your perfume

All in my bedroom

I don't understand why she

Don't say sh*t (maybe she's weak)

Maybe I know

That's why I can't stand myself no more

She must be an angel

To know but never say

To see but look away



[Chorus]

And even though it's wrong

That I'm living such a lie

I just can't leave you alone

The more that we go on this guilt

Just builds up inside

Still I can't leave you alone



No I just can't leave my (I just can't, I just can't) mistress

No I just can't leave my (I just can't, I just can't) mistress

(Leave you alone)

So why do you feel like something

That I shouldn't hide

I just can't leave you alone



[Bridge]

But I just can't, I just can't leave you alone

I just can't, I just can't leave you alone

I just can't, I just can't leave you alone

I just can't, I just can't leave you alone



[Chorus]

No I just can't leave my mistress

No I just can't leave my mistress

And why do you feel like something

That I shouldn't hide

I just can't leave you alone
