Breathing, as the bedclothes mould to your back,
The rhythm doesn’t even offer comfort, a stranger in my bed,
In my body, in my life.
To me you’re nameless, faceless, a means to release,
Just another one night stand.
The guilt will hit me at the same time as the dawn,
When the shadows begin to shift and change, darkness cast away,
When you, remain.
When you realise I have nothing more to offer you,
Wouldn’t give it, even if I did.
The rock in the bottom of my stomach shifts,
Only a few hours of night left,
Whilst the moon is still in the sky,
I lean in to you close,
Breathing in the scent of sweat, and aftershave, and sex.
And I will pretend, only for tonight, that I love you.

Anguished and tortured, I watch you beside me,
Breathing, as the bedclothes mould to your back,
The rhythm doesn’t even offer comfort, a stranger in my bed,
In my body, in my life.
To me you’re nameless, faceless, a means to release,
Just another one night stand.
The guilt will hit me at the same time as the dawn,
When the shadows begin to shift and change, darkness cast away,
When you, remain.
When you realise I have nothing more to offer you,
Wouldn’t give it, even if I did.
The rock in the bottom of my stomach shifts,
Only a few hours of night left,
Whilst the moon is still in the sky,
I lean in to you close,
Breathing in the scent of sweat, and aftershave, and sex.
And I will pretend, only for tonight, that I love you.
