Lyrics
Sit down beside me, don't be angry
I need to talk to you
We've had our problems, tried to solve them
Tried to push on through
Breakups and makeups so sure that it's alright
Cause that's what lovers do
But at the right times, oh the quiet times,
I'm living half a step away from you
I spend my days running, trying not to fall
Do you wonder what we're running for
It's closing in, It's hard to breathe
When seeping through, my everything
Is dirty love
Take it all, I'll gladly pay
My million tears, to wash away
This dirty love
Dirty Love
Only the lonely, know the beauty
Of pleasure built on pain
The passion is heady, if it's only
A temporary thing
But how did we, we get to be, oh so in love
So blind to where we've been
If you can hear me, oh release me
Won't you let me start again
I spend my night hiding, trying not to call
Do you wonder what I'm hiding for
It's closing in, It's hard to breathe
When seeping through, my everything
Is dirty love
Take it all, I'll gladly pay
My million tears, to wash away
This dirty love
Dirty Love
Dirty Love yeah
Dir-ty Love
It's closing in, It's hard to breathe
When seeping through, my everything
Is dirty love
Take it all, I'll gladly pay
My million tears, to wash away
This dirty love
It's choking you, it's killing me
It's bearing down like Hercules
This Dirty Love
I made mistakes, in your defence
I've paid my penance
In dirty Love
