Bedpost Lyrics

There in her restless bed
She filled a glass and tempted my emptiness
Laid down our self respect
What's left of it
It's best if we just forget
Spare me the regret

'Cause I'll be sleeping as you creep out of the door
And I won't be woken, won't be spoken of no more

And will you even mark a notch into your
Bedpost, darling?
Or add me to the tally on your wall?
Will you leave before your scent has left my
Starving skin?
And I carve you on my heart just like a fool
Here's to you

Here's to the futile truth
Your beautiful, but brutal and ruthless youth
Here's to the new pursuit
The hunger and the hunt for the substitute

'cause I'll be sleeping as you creep out of the door
I won't be woken, won't be spoken of no more

And will you even mark a notch into your bedpost darling?
Or add me to the tally on your wall?
Will you leave before your scent has left my starving skin
And I carve you on my heart just like a fool?
Here's to you

Keeping believing, we're no more than animals
Is keeping us feeling the pain of it, the shame of it

Keeping believing, we're no more than animals
Is keeping us feeling the pain of it, the shame of it

Don't you ever let love sweep you off the floor?
To leave you lost, and leave you washed up on the shore?

Will you even mark the notch into your bedpost darling?
Or add me to the tally on your wall?
Will you leave before your scent has left my starving skin
And I carve you on my heart just like a fool?
Well here's to you
