    Stripped in London

What do you do 
When you know something's bad for you 
And you still can't let go 

I was naive 
Your love was like candy 
Artificially sweet 
I was deceived by the wrapping 
Got caught in your web 
And I learned how to bleed 
I was prey in your bed 
And devoured completely 

Oh and it hurts my soul 
'Cause I can't let go 
All these walls are caving in 
I can't stop my suffering 
I hate to show that I've 
Lost control 'cause I 
I keep going right back 
To the one thing that I need 
To walk away from, yeah 

I need to get away from you 
I need to walk away from you 
Get away, walk away, walk away 

I should have known 
That I was used for amusement (for amusement, oh) 
Couldn't see through the smoke 
It was all an illusion 
Now I've been licking my wounds (licking my wounds) 
But the venom seeps deeper (deeper, deeper) 
We both can seduce 
But darling you hold me prisoner (prisoner) 

Oh I'm about to break 
I can't stop this ache 
I'm addicted to your allure 
And I'm fiending for a cure 
Every step I take 
Leads to one mistake 
I keep going right back 
To the one thing that I need, oh 

I can't mend 
This torn state I'm in 
Getting nothing in return 
What did I do to deserve 
The pain of this slow burn 
And everywhere I turn 
I keep going right back 
To the one thing that I need 
To walk away from, yeah 

I need to get away from you 
I need to walk away from you 

Every time I try to grasp for air 
I am smothered in despair 
It's never over, over... oh 
It seems I'll never wake from this nightmare 
I let out a silent prayer 
Let it be over, over... ooh 

Inside I'm screaming, begging pleading 
No more... oh, ohh 

Now what to do 
My heart has been bruised 
So sad but it's true 
Each beat reminds me of you 

Ooh it hurts my soul 
'Cause I can't let go 
All these walls are caving in 
I can't stop my suffering 
I hate to show that I've 
Lost control 'cause I 
I keep going right back 
To the one thing that I need, oh 

I'm about to break 
And I can't stop this ache 
I'm addicted to your allure 
And I'm fiending for a cure, no oh 
Every step I take 
Leads to one mistake 
I keep going right back 
To the one thing that I need, oh 

I can't mend 
This torn state I'm in 
Getting nothing in return 
What did I do to deserve 
The pain of this slow burn 
And everywhere I turn 
I keep going right back 
To the one thing that I need 
To walk away from, yeah 

I said 
I need to get away from you 
I need to walk away from you 
Get away, walk away, walk away 

Only thing I need to do 
Is walk away from you, yeah 
Walk away, ooh
