private education

so it's a private education

and it's not getting any easier

but if it's any indication

well

i feel a little weaker now

and it's a private education

so i present you with your degree

a degree of separation goes a long long way when schooling me

so forgive me for what i have done

and forgive me for what i might do

and redeem me to everyone

as i submit myself to you

you could wear me 'round like your best dress and i wouldn't mind

you could ruin me in one long night and then cast me aside

you could turn your mind back to your past

and i couldn't change your heart

or kiss your scars

or find your heat there in the dark

dark

dark

dark

dark

so it's a private education

and i'm feeling like an innocent

though i feel a little guilty now

since i've sinned against myself again

so forgive me for what i have done

and forgive me for what i might do

and redeem me to everyone

as i submit myself to you

you could wear me 'round like your best dress and i wouldn't mind

you could ruin me in one long night and then cast me aside

you could turn your mind back to your past

and i couldn't change your heart

or kiss your scars

or find your heat there in the dark

i wanna learn you good

i wanna read your text

i wanna cut you deeper

wanna cut you best

now my cautionary ways are swept aside

i fear you not

all my past disclaimers are alibis

i've now forgot

you could turn your mind back to your past

and i couldn't change your heart

or kiss your scars

or find your heat there in the dark

dark

dark

so it's a private education

and it's not getting any cheaper

i wear the cost around like a wound

and i'll try not to bleed all over you
