"Temptation" lyrics

"Temptation"

I keep you in a locket
A picture and a secret
Heating up by six degrees
You're deeper than my pocket
A flicker for my weakness
Just to feed my enemies

I'd be lost if I could repay you
How high's the cost if I betray you?
Try to force my heart to be grateful
But there's no place for fate here, darlin'

You're too much temptation
All eyes on me
Come to me like they just caught us
Too much temptation
Baby, let it be
Cover me like holy water

Soliloquies and gossip
Destroy it if we speak it
Echo from the mezzanine
You're deeper than my pocket
A flicker for my weakness
Just to feed my enemies

I'd be lost if I could repay you
How high's the cost if I betray you?
Try to force my heart to be grateful
But there's no place for fate here, darlin'

You're too much temptation
All eyes on me
Come to me like they just caught us
Too much temptation
Baby, let it be
Cover me like holy water

You're too much temptation
All eyes on me
Come to me like they just caught us
Too much temptation
Baby, let it be
Cover me like holy water

You're too much temptation
All eyes on me
Come to me like they just caught us
Too much temptation
Baby, let it be
Cover me like holy water
