Love Isn’t

Well, I know a thing about contrition,
Because I got enough to spare.
And I’ll be granting your permission,
‘Cause you haven’t got a prayer.
Well I said hey, hey hallelujah,
I’m gonna come on sing the praise.
And let the spirit come on through ya,
We got innocence for days!

Well, I think I’m gonna burn in hell,
Everybody burn the house right down.

And say, ha
What I wanna say
Tell me I’m an angel,
Take this to my grave.
Tell me I’m a bad man,
Kick me like a stray.
Tell me I’m an angel,
Take this to my grave.

(S-I-N, I S-I-N
S-I-N, I S-I-N
S-I-N, I S-I-N
S-I-N, I S-I-N)

You play ring around the ambulance,
Well like you never gave a care.
So get the choir boys around you,
It’s a compliment, I swear.
And I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down,
I wanna hear you sing the praise,
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down,
We got innocence for days!

Well, I think I’m gonna burn in hell,
Everybody burn the house right down.

And say, ha
What I wanna say
Tell me I’m an angel,
Take this to my grave.
Tell me I’m a bad man,
Kick me like a stray.
Tell me I’m an angel,
Take this to my grave.

You better run like the devil,
‘Cause they’re never gonna leave you alone!
You better hide up in the alley,
‘Cause they’re never gonna find you a home!
And as the blood runs down the walls,
You see me creepin’ up these halls.
I’ve been a bad motherfucker
Tell your sister I’m another
Go! Go! Go!

And I said, say,
What I wanna say
Tell me I’m an angel,
Take this to my grave.
Tell me I’m a bad man,
Kick me like a stray.
Tell me I’m an angel,
Take this to my grave.

Tell me I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad man.
Tell me I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad man.
Tell me I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad man.
Tell me I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad man.
So get up!
So get out!
S-I-N, I S-I-N!

Well it rains and it pours
When you’re out on your own
If I crash on the couch
Can I sleep in my clothes?
‘Cause I’ve spent the night dancing
I’m drunk, I suppose
If it looks like I’m laughing
I’m really just asking to leave

This alone, you’re in time for the show
You’re the one that I need
I’m the one that you loathe
You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose
‘Cause I love all the poison
Away with the boys in the band

I’ve really been on a bender and it shows
So why don’t you blow me a kiss before she goes?

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

There’s a place in the dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo

I’ve really been on a bender and it shows
So why don’t you blow me a kiss before she goes?

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me
[x2]

Now I know
That I can’t make you stay
But where’s your heart?
But where’s your heart?
But where’s your…

And I know
There’s nothing I can say
To change that part
To change that part
To change…

So many
Bright lights, they cast a shadow
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding
I’m incomplete
A life that’s so demanding
I get so weak
A love that’s so demanding
I can’t speak

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I’ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

Can you see
My eyes are shining bright
‘Cause I’m out here
On the other side
Of a jet black hotel mirror
And I’m so weak
Is it hard understanding
I’m incomplete
A love that’s so demanding
I get weak

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I’ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I’ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

These bright lights have always blinded me
These bright lights have always blinded me
I say

I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I’d never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead

(How can I see, I see you lying) ‘Cause I see you lying next to me
(How can I see, I see you lying) With words I thought I’d never speak
(How can I see, I see you lying) Awake and unafraid
(How can I see, I see you lying) Asleep or dead

‘Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I’d never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead

‘Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I’d never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you stay, I’ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you stay, I’ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you stay, I’ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
