Private Education

So it's a private education
And it's not getting any easier
But if it's any indication
Well I feel a little weaker now
And it's a private education
So I present you with your degree
A degree of separation goes a long long way when schooling me

So forgive me for what I have done
And forgive me for what I might do
And redeem me to everyone
As I submit myself to you

You could wear me 'round like your best dress and I wouldn't mind
You could ruin me in one long night and then cast me aside
You could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn't change your heart
Or kiss your scars
Or find your heat there in the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark

So it's a private education
And I'm feeling like an innocent
Though I feel a little guilty now
Since I've sinned against myself again

So forgive me for what I have done
And forgive me for what I might do
And redeem me to everyone
As I submit myself to you

You could wear me 'round like your best dress and I wouldn't mind
You could ruin me in one long night and then cast me aside
You could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn't change your heart
Or kiss your scars
Or find your heat there in the dark

I wanna learn you good
I wanna read your text
I wanna cut you deeper
Wanna cut you best
Now my cautionary ways are swept aside
I fear you not
All my past disclaimers and alibis
I've now forgot
You could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn't change your heart
Or kiss your scars
Or find your heat there in the dark

So it's a private education, and it's not getting any cheaper, I wear the cost around like a wound, and I'll try not to bleed all over you
