Desire

Sacred places where she lives and breathes
The addiction that consumes my every need
She wants to make her home where I’m known to bleed
With pain, toil, regret and shame and greed
Desire is her name and she will not let me be
The game she makes me play causes trembles in my knees.
♠♠♠♠
Desire, Desire, Desire
I’m burned, beat, and battered by her unrelenting fire
Desire, Desire, Desire
Heal my heart, set me free before he sees.
♠♠♠♠
Take head to the warnings, whispered in the dead of night
Don’t let the fear slip on in and linger for a life
She’ll blind your eyes, and steal your trust
You’ll forget where you both came from
Desire is her name and she will not set us free.
♠♠♠♠
Desire, Desire, Desire
I’m burned, beat, and battered by her unrelenting fire
Desire, Desire, Desire
Heal my heart, set me free before he sees.
♠♠♠♠
Momma always told me, don’t play with that Desire
She’s sin, she’s hate, she’s burning fire
Don’t become like that Desire
But I never did take head to what she knew was always best
Desire and I, a tangled web, we became just like the rest.
♠♠♠♠
Desire, Desire, Desire
I’m burned, beat and battered by her unrelenting fire
Desire, Desire, Desire
Heal my heart, set me free before he sees.
♠♠♠♠
I look into the mirror
All I see is her in me
Her eyes are flames, her touch is fire
She stirs what he can’t see.
I don’t want to play the victim
I don’t want to be the seed
But Desire is her name and I’m taken where she leads.
♠♠♠♠
Desire, Desire, Desire
I’m burned, beat and battered by her unrelenting fire
Desire, Desire, Desire
Heal my heart, set me free before he sees.

♠♠♠♠
Oh Desire, Desire, Desire

It’s not a game, put out the flame, I’m begging please

Oh please, Desire, Desire, Desire

Grant some mercy on us three

Give me restraint, just walk away, cuz I have to set him free

Please don’t let Desire burn so bright in me
