True Ways

Saving some mystery for a gold-shackled bed
Love would last forever if we'd only stay interested
Commonlaw cousin kisses the Dutch uncle
And weak sister cries when she cracks his knuckle

She read my mind when she said
"I'm lonely, please come home."
"I'm lonely, please come home."
And I'll show you my true ways

Humor so sharp, quick, and clever
Fingers a dark bruise for the pleasure
These off-hand remarks are so blunt and casual
Then we slide from the bed with claws and perfect lips

She read my mind when she said
"I'm alone, please come home."
"I'm alone, please come home."
I'll show you my true ways
I will show you my true ways

Throwing sympathy wrapped tight with malice
We're so damaged our kisses turn careless
The first cut isn't the deepest, it's only the first

She read my mind when she said
"I'm alone, please come home."
"I'm alone, please come home."
I'll show you my true ways
I will show you my true ways
