red for blood, red for love
There, you look so new
So perfect, so worthless, such lies
I know you
You haven’t got a beautiful bone
You, you are bruised beyond belief
And you, you can’t even speak
But you can smile
With those red, red lips
You can smile
And you can nod your head
Yes
All you are is those red, red lips

And, the second he calls
Devotion, emotion, such lies
I know you
Every second makes you sicker than sick
You are bleeding without relief
You don’t have the right to speak
You can’t cry
Those red, red lips
Are for kissing
Just nod your head
Yes
Yes, you want to, red, red lips

It’s only temporary, temporary you say
Just wash it down the drain
Not next time, next time you are strong
Strong enough to hold him,
Strong enough to say you told him
Strong enough to lie to him
Every Night
I love you

Time, you have it for once
Phone calls, and friends, such lies
I know you
I hate them, you dream to
You are plotting like a thief
The schemes you don’t dare to speak
You could kill
With those red, red lips
They’re for kissing
Just nod your head
Yes
And do you feel alright?
