lyrics

With two consenting masquerades
Reality is dealt in spades
And should I need reminding
Then your fond attention slowly fades

But sometimes when the nights allow
Pretend you love me anyhow
Come morning I resume
All of these puzzling charades

The heart is locked away
And the lid is firmly latched
Just give and take a little
We agreed no strings attached

Two different worlds we live in
Only one way that we're matched
It's my own fault for aching
For we said no strings attached

We sometimes reach a savage heat
And sometimes call each other Sweet
Delusions of a stronger bond
Would be a crushing self-defeat

I'll give you all in my embrace
And then I'll give you back your space
My mind knows the arrangement
But it still feels incomplete

The heart is locked away
And the lid is firmly latched
Just give and take a little
We agreed no strings attached

Two different worlds we live in
Only one way that we're matched
It's my own fault for aching
For we said no strings attached

You're all I wish that I possessed
In ways that words cannot express
I will not show your deepest fear:
Another person in distress

In preparation to depart
I'll keep your spark inside my heart
And once it is a part of me
My mind can rest

The heart is locked away
And the lid is firmly latched
Just give and take a little
We agreed no strings attached

Two different worlds we live in
Only one way that we're matched
It's my own fault for aching
For we said no strings attached
