Lyrics

Like a brand on my soul you would burn me
With your webs spun of gold you would turn me
Inside out and my mind would desert me
Back then

Like acid your words they would scar me
With a glance of disdain you alarmed me
But I never believed you could harm me
Back then

I took my life to throw it away just a moth to the flame
I could not give up
I took my love yeah
But no one could fault me, my love it was calling
I needed you then
But I can't give you up
No I can't give you up

Like a fire inside I will burn you
With an eye for an eye I'll return you
For the fact that I could not desert you
Back then

Now I am the word that will spurn you
Like a lesson in pain I have learned you
But perhaps after all I deserved you
Back then

I took my life to throw it away just a moth to the flame
I could not give up
I took my love yeah
But no one could fault me, my love it was calling
I needed you then
But I can't give you up
No I can't give you up
