I Didn't Know


I didn't know addiction could make me feel this way

I didn't know something so wrong couldn't be kept at bay

 

I didn't know I wouldn't forget that bright star ridden sky

I didn't know I wouldn't unsee a hunger in your eye

 

I didn't know a voice, warm, gravely and deep

I didn't know soft lips, and the secrets they could keep

 

I didn't know what strong hands felt when tangled in my hair

I didn't know that ecstasy diminished every care

 

I didn't know I couldn't forget lusts taste upon my tongue

I didn't know I'd cling so fast to feeling forever young

 

I didn't know what kind of world saying yes would thrust me into

I didn't know that I could be addicted to someone like you
