Private Education

So it's a private education,
 And it's not getting any easier,
 But if it's any indication,
 Well I feel a little weaker now.
 And it's a private education,
 So I present you with your degree.
 A degree of separation goes a long long way when schooling me.
 So forgive me for what I have done,
 And forgive me for what I might do,
 And redeem me to everyone,
 As I submit myself to you.
 You could wear me 'round like your best dress and I wouldn't mind,
 You could ruin me in one long night and then cast me aside,
 You could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn't change your heart,
 Or kiss your scars,
 Or find your heat there in the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark.
 So it's a private education,
 And I'm feeling like an innocent.
 Though I feel a little guilty now,
 Since I've sinned against myself again.
 So forgive me for what I have done,
 And forgive me for what I might do,
 And redeem me to everyone,
 As I submit myself to you.
 You could wear me 'round like your best dress and I wouldn't mind,
 You could ruin me in one long night and then cast me aside,
 You could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn't change your heart,
 Or kiss your scars,
 Or find your heat there in the dark.
 I wanna learn you good,
 I wanna read your text,
 I wanna cut you deeper,
 Wanna cut you best.
 Now my cautionary ways are swept aside,
 I fear you not,
 All my past disclaimers and alibis,
 I've now forgot,
 You could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn't change your heart,
 Or kiss your scars,
 Or find your heat there in the dark.
 So it's a private education, and it's not getting any cheaper, I wear the cost around like a wound, and I'll try not to bleed all over you.
