[Verse 1]
Keep your back against the wall
Well, is this a face that looks like it's sorry for you now?
I wouldn't care which side of us you're on
As long as you're out of my way
I will not be still, I will not be silent
These images of you become violent and I'm searching for a reason not to let myself go...
[Chorus]
...on you
But believe me, it's not the first time I've wanted to
I've just been waiting for the right chance
To hold you so, not hold your hand but...
Hold you to the flames and watch you dance
[Verse 2]
So now we're in business and I can't stop my heart from racing
These last few steps before the door
Oh, I can almost taste it
The taste of sweet, sweet, sweet revenge
Come closer my friend so I can, now I can let myself go...
[Chorus]
...on you
But believe me, it's not the first time I've wanted to
I've just been waiting for the right chance
To hold you so, not hold your hand but...
Hold you to the flames and watch you dance
Watch you dance
[Bridge]
Quietly between you and I, I'm suffocating here tonight
Quietly between you and I, I'm suffocating here tonight
[Chorus]
Let it go on you
But, believe me, it's not the first time I've wanted to
I've just been waiting for the right chance
To hold you so, not hold your hand but...
Let it go on you
But, believe me, it's not the first time I've wanted to
I've just been waiting for the right chance
To hold you so, not hold your hand but...
Hold you to the flames and watch you dance
