To think of my task is chillingTo know I was carefully building
the maskI was wearing for two years, swearing I'd tear it
offI've sat in the dark explaining to myselfthat I'm
straining too hard for feelings I ought to find easilyCalled
myself Jezebel, I don't believeBefore I say that the vows we
made weigh like a stone in my heartFamily is family, don't
let this tear us apartYou lie there, an innocent babyI feel like
the thief who is raiding your homeentering and breaking and
taking in every roomI know your feelings are tender and that
inside you the embersstill glowBut I'm a shadow, I'm
only a bed of blackened coalCall myself Jezebel for wanting to
leaveI'm not saying I'm replacing love for some other
wordto describe the sacred tie that bound me to youI'm just
saying we've mistaken one for thousands of wordsAnd for that
mistake, I've caused you such pain that I damn that
wordI've no more ways to hide that I'm a desolate and
empty, hollow place insideI'm not saying I'm replacing
love for some other wordto describe the sacred tie that bound me
to youI'm not saying love's a playthingNo, it's a
powerful wordinspired by strong desire to bind myself to youHow I
wish that we never had tried to be man and his wifeto weave our
lives into a blindfold over both our eyes
