Each Kiss Is a Goodbye (Indie version)

[Verse] She walks in when the lights burn low And every head turns in a row You feel the heat across the room And like a moth you find the flame She holds your gaze a beat too long And plays you like a favorite song You never stood a chance at all You'd sell your soul to touch the flame [Pre-Chorus] You know just how this ends You play along, pretend The writing's on the wall And still you're bound to fall [Chorus] She'll love you like the tide loves land Then slip like water through your hand Don't ask her name, don't ask her why Each kiss she gives is a goodbye [Verse] She pulls you out onto the floor As if she's known these steps before The music slows, the shadows lean One look, and it is she who leads Her lips brush close against your ear She tells you what you want to hear You lose your grip on time and place You follow anywhere she leads [Pre-Chorus] You know just how this ends You play along, pretend The writing's on the wall And still you're bound to fall [Chorus] She'll love you like the tide loves land Then slip like water through your hand Don't ask her name, don't ask her why Each kiss she gives is a goodbye [Verse] The daylight spills over the bed Her lipstick on a glass, deep red A curl of smoke hangs in the air Her perfume fades, and she is gone You check the hall, you check the phone The silence says you're on your own And somewhere down the road tonight She's someone's dream, and then she's gone [Bridge] Perhaps she cannot bear to stay Perhaps she's always been that way She'd rather leave you wanting more Than watch you reaching for the door [Chorus] She'll love you like the tide loves land Then slip like water through your hand Don't ask her name, don't ask her why Each kiss she gives is a goodbye
