lyrics

IF YOU WANT ME TO
Words & Music by Kenny Sandler

I don’t want to give you sympathy
I don’t want to share your smoke
Your rain-soaked skin is shivering
A bird of prey whose wings have broke

Why don’t you paint me a picture, dear
I want to feel your downward stroke
Ribbons of scars seem to follow you
From the drama you provoke

I can take you home tonight if you want me to
We can glow under neon lights if you want me to
I can be your shadow inside if you want me to

You shroud yourself in misery
when you play the femme fatale
We know that you have a history
It’s a story never ending well

If you can’t feel the pain, you’ll never know how it hurts
I love you, I hate you, I don’t know which is worse
I can take you home tonight if you want me to
We can glow under neon lights if you want me to
I can be your shadow inside if you want me to

You don’t believe in miracles
When they’re landing at your feet
Try being that less cynical
Maybe then you’ll be complete

If you can’t feel the pain, you’ll never know how it hurts
I love you, I hate you, I don’t know which is worse
I can take you home tonight if you want me to
We can glow under neon lights if you want me to
I can be your shadow inside if you want me to
