Consequences - Vanessa Daou, Timewriter

I said 'No'to you today

but all I really wanted

to say was 'Yes'

I got u and walked away

Took a cab to my place

and then got dressed

I have put up all

my useless defenses

I have learned my lesson

These are the consequences

of loving you…

So I twist my lipstick up

and I stay out later than

consciousness

Such a beautiful tear

Now you’re asking for more

and I’m needing less

I have put up all

my instinctive defenses

I have learned my lesson

These are the consequences

of loving you

Sometimes you can sink so low

Deep down where there’s nowhere to go

But it don’t bother me, no, no

Then I pull out my pen

and I put down

what’s in my head

Then you slip off my dress

and say 'My love,

come to bed'

I have put up all

my useless defenses

I have learned my lesson

These are the consequences

of loving you…
