Live For Danger

I never meant to love you, I never meant to care
I never meant to cross the line or change a thing, I swear
You never could call what we have a sordid, cheap affair
There's a faint reek of stagnation and confusion in the air

I always thought I knew you, you and I, we are the same
I'd laugh off jokes of romance and the daft things you proclaim
I don't know if my burning cheeks are cause by hope or shame
You keep your hand on mine to hold my fingers to the flame

I wonder how you do it, with warnings you should come
Chase the latest gambit to crush beneath your thumb
I fear you live for danger and have only just begun
I'll let you play me one last time, but please, 
Don't think you've won.
