Lyrics
What have I done?
I've taken ten steps backwards, just to get a small taste of you
I feel so ashamed, I just threw the towel in
Just to get a small taste of you.
And it was ripped away, it was ripped away,
It was ripped away right out of my hands
The drive of shame, I ask myself was it worth it?
Just to get a small taste of you
Now I'm at square one
Months of hurt gone to nothin'
Just to get a small taste of you
And your love is a poisonous love
It's a vice I can't deny
And it was ripped away, it was ripped away
It was ripped away right out of my hands
