Lyrics

Love is the price we pay for our sins.
The game isn't fun to play, and of course, nobody wins.
Someone gets bored and everybody gets scared.
The jury is rising. The verdict's in. It's 'Why the hell should we care?'

If all the signs are saying Run Like Hell, then what are you still doing, standing there?
I'm not a woman. I'm a warning bell, a doomsday siren blowing through the air.

This isn't real love. It's only a dare.
Fumbling my way to you, to see if I can have an ordinary love affair.

If I can love you I might live again.
It's a simple way of challenging the odds.
But hold on, let me catch my breath again
'cause I can't outrun the vengeance of the gods.

Miracles can happen, sure, but you're not dumb.
You're not on your hands and knees -
you're putting on your coat and getting ready to run.
Don't be alarmed but I'm blocking the door.
I'm cynical and sad but still
reluctantly yours.

Every time I put my hands on you
it's like I'm lost and running in the rain. But if I never find my way again, well, I'd have to be a fool to complain.
