Bedpost

Lyrics

There in her restless bed
 She filled a glass and tempted my emptiness
 Laid down our self respect
 What's left of it
 It's best if we just forget
 Spare me the regret
 ♪
 'Cause I'll be sleeping as you creep out of the door
 And I won't be woken, won't be spoken of no more
 
 And will you even mark a notch into your
 Bedpost, darling?
 Or add me to the tally on your wall?
 Will you leave before your scent has left my
 Starving skin?
 And I carve you on my heart just like a fool
 Here's to you
 ♪
 Here's to the futile truth
 Your beautiful, but brutal and ruthless youth
 Here's to the new pursuit
 The hunger and the hunt for the substitute
 
 'cause I'll be sleeping as you creep out of the door
 I won't be woken, won't be spoken of no more
 ♪
 And will you even mark a notch into your bedpost darling?
 Or add me to the tally on your wall?
 Will you leave before your scent has left my starving skin
 And I carve you on my heart just like a fool?
 Here's to you
 ♪
 Keeping believing, we're no more than animals
 Is keeping us feeling the pain of it, the shame of it
 Keeping believing, we're no more than animals
 Is keeping us feeling the pain of it, the shame of it
 Don't you ever let love sweep you off the floor?
 To leave you lost, and leave you washed up on the shore?
 
 Will you even mark the notch into your bedpost darling?
 Or add me to the tally on your wall?
 Will you leave before your scent has left my starving skin
 And I carve you on my heart just like a fool?
 Well here's to you
