You talk with your tongue tied And speak with your eyes Words could never reveal What your keeping inside
It's in the way you brush your hair Turning your face like I'm not there You say there no secrets that you hide But we both know that it's a lie
Under the streetlights and the palms I thought I'd change your mind today But even when you're close You're pushing me away
It's all in your touch The taste and the smell It's all in the way you kiss and tell It's falling apart I'm black and I'm bruised I'm always alone when I'm with you
Your lips are like sunburn But your hands are cold Whatever lies behind your smile I don't want to know If I could slip inside your skin Would you let me in again Holding me up while you're pushing me down You're screaming it out but you don't make a sound
Under the streetlights and the palms I thought I'd change your mind today But even when you're close You're pushing me away
It's all in your touch The taste and the smell It's all in the way you kiss and tell It's falling apart I'm black and I'm bruised I'm always alone when I'm with you
Cruel intentions in disguise Say what's on your mind You're body's aching with denial
