Please Don't Give Me What I Want

Please don't give me what I want
And protect me from the quake to come
My dear, I know the hounds are near
I'm fickle as a pendulum
I trembled in the winter-pale wrecked
To the depths of my wickedness
And breathless and luckless, though I am
The heart of the lion inside the lamb
Won't you come for me, across that line?
And hold my heart, if only, only
Won't you come for me, across that line?
And hold my heart, if only, only
Don't give me what I want
And forsake my basic whim
My dear, they'll come for us by night
while I'm harboring my sin
Darling, you know I am afraid of leaving
Morning's light bares the cross I stood
And I wish I was good, if only, only I could
Won't you come for me, across that line?
And hold my heart, if only, only
Won't you come for me, across that line?
And hold my heart, if only, only
Won't you come for me, across that line?
And hold my heart, if only, only
Won't you come for me, across that line?
And hold my heart, if only, only
Won't you come for me, across that line?
And hold my heart, if only, only
Won't you come for me, across that line?
And hold my heart, if only, only
Won't you come for me, across that line?
And hold my heart, if only, only
Won't you come for me, across that line?
And hold my heart, if only, only
