lyrics

I once kissed a woman simply for her lips

And not because love between us exists

After the thought I felt empty inside

I knew my kiss, it was a lie



I left her side later that night

And looked out a window to a dim street light

It flickered and whispered advice so strong

Said "If you don't love her, what you did was wrong"



Sometimes I get angry at my own desires

They screw with my thoughts, makes me sick and tired

The battles come fast and I've frequently lost

I'm a good man, but I still have those thoughts



I have the temptation to be much more loose

To throw caution away and indulge in my youth

Until I become numb to moralities song

Sometimes I wish sinning wasn't wrong



False idols are breathing down my neck

Just trying to see what they can get



A curious fortune that's way beyond price

A treasure that we have all bastardized

I apologize greatly for those I've made pissed

For those I've betrayed with a kiss



I now hold my kisses in such high regard

Because I know what it's like to kiss someone that hard

Where something inside us that once was trapped

Something much deeper is tapped



I'd rather not deal with something like my pride

Gets the best of me, and twists all my insides

And I swear and I curse and call God out by name

Like a coward I give him all the blame



False idols are breathing down my neck

Just trying to see what they can get



I once kissed a woman because she was there

Because I was selfish and her skin was fair

And in the long run it showed me teachings from above

That a kiss should mean more than just love
