Tainted

So this is how you'll leave me here today?
A hopeless mess that's drowning in my pain?
The stars are looking black
As the void comes crashing down
Crying for some contact
I look to see if I can find
Some sanctuary in your eyes but

All I get is cold, heartless stare
Oblivious to the warmth that once was there

Just one taste
Of your sweet, caressing love was like
Just one kiss
It just wasn't enough
You touched my soul and made it unclean
Now I'm tainted... know what I mean?

I took the pleasure, but didn't see the pain
I never thought you'd leave me here this way
Your eyes are looking black
Your mind is out of whack
Now confusion is all you know
You don't know where to go and

All I get is that cold, heartless stare
Oblivious to the warmth that once was there

Just one taste
Of your sweet, caressing love was like
Just one kiss
It just wasn't enough
You touched my soul and made it unclean
Now I'm tainted... know what I mean?

If you ever need me, I'll still be here
But if you're searching for the love that I once had
You won't find it anywhere... you had your chance

Now all I get is that cold, heartless stare
Confusion masking the love that's hidden there
I know it's still there

Just one taste
Of your sweet, delirious love was like
Just one night
When you gave it all up
I touched your soul and now you can't let me go
You're tainted... tainted....
Tainted... and you'll never be free of me

Just one taste
Of your sweet, caressing love was like
Just one kiss
It just wasn't enough
You touched my soul and made it unclean
Now I'm tainted... you know what I mean?
Tainted!
