Pardon me Why am I here and why am I begging on my knees? Been here all along, who would've thought I had a smoking gun My love, my love is calling But I'm torn between desire and shame My home, my home is burning And I die in it again and again Take me, tear me up and leave me there Stripped to the bone Dare me to play your game, I'll be there Stripped to the bone Stripped to the bone Stripped to the bone And then let me out Of it Pardon me Are you the fugitive on the run invading my mind Hiding in the doorway To keep me awake in a state of crime My love, my love is calling I get closer and yet further away My home, my home is burning I sleep easy in this bed full of flames Take me, tear me up and leave me there Stripped to the bone Dare me to play your game, I'll be there Stripped to the bone Stripped to the bone Stripped to the bone Stripped to the bone Stripped to the bone Stripped to the bone And then let me out and leave me be now Let me out and leave me be now Let me out and leave me be now Let me out and leave me be now Take me, tear me whole and leave me there Stripped to the bone Dare me to play your game, I'll be there Stripped to the bone Stripped to the bone Stripped to the bone Stripped to the bone Stripped to the bone Stripped to the bone My love, my love is waiting But I'm shackled to the pity again For a man, a man of sorrows And his fine line between the loss & the gain Let me out and leave me be now Let me out and leave me be now Let me out and leave me be now Let me out and leave me be now
