The Mistress

[Verse 1]

I was thinking some day, I'd grow out of this phase

What a big mistake that was

Isn't love that we make, I'm caught up in this maze

Wish it haven't have begun

I'm too weak to leave

But God I can't stand myself no more

And she calls me angel

But that ain't the truth, you know, you know

[Pre-Chorus]

And even though it's wrong that I'm living such a lie

I just can't leave you alone

The more that we go on, this guilt just builds up inside

Still I can't leave you alone

[Chorus]

No I just can't leave my mistress

No I just can't leave my mistress

Why do you feel like something that I shouldn't hide

I just can't leave you alone

[Verse 2]

She wakes me with a kiss, some coffee in my bed

After I just crept in way after six

Smelling of your perfume, all in my bedroom

I don't understand why she don't say shit

Maybe she's weak, maybe I know

That's why I can't stand myself no more

She must be an angel

To know but never say, to see but look away

[Pre-Chorus]

And even though it's wrong that I'm living such a lie

I just can't leave you alone

The more that we go on, this guilt just builds up inside

Still I can't leave you alone

[Chorus]

No I just can't leave my mistress

No I just can't leave my mistress

So why do you feel like something that I shouldn't hide

I just can't leave you alone

[Bridge]

Girl I just can't, I just can't leave you alone

I just can't, I just can't leave you alone

I just can't, I just can't leave you alone

I just can't, I just can't leave you alone

[Chorus]

No I just can't leave my mistress

No I just can't leave my mistress

Why do you feel like something that I shouldn't hide

I just can't leave you alone
