Queen of Spades

Comfort me Queen of Spades
Hearts are just for show
Tired of putting my own on the market of trades
There are no benefits and the profits are low
Promises are never kept and the one to suffer is the pure of soul
Comfort me Queen of Spades
Let me play pretend in your arms
I need love even if it's fake
Been hurt so many times before that one more time don't do anymore harm
My feelings are numb to heartbreak
At last I understand the stakes
Give me love even if it's not mine to take
Comfort me Queen of Spades
Kiss the edge of my scars
Replace the memories of pain with pleasure
The moon was too high so let me sleep among the stars
You don't have to remember my name, no pressure
Just treat me gently, everything else can be taken at your leissure
To love or not to love, these are just emotions that don't have to be measured
Not labelled, but are treasured
Comfort me Queen of Spades
Temporarily I want to believe we are meant to be
It already feels long term in my mind
So I'll smile while it lasts until you say goodbye to me
But I have to have this story even if we leave it behind
Comfort me Queen of Spades
Tomorrow comes and with the dawn this one night stand fades
