The candlesticks are burning low now
The walls are weighted down with flowers
I watch her shake the hands of three hundred happy people
And her dress gets whiter by the hour
You stand beside her like a shadow
And you echo her smile when her teeth start showing through
Your hand rests gently on the small of her back
But you, you hold my gaze across the room
And something
is wrong with this picture
Yeah, something has
been wrong for awhile
But then you reach your
hand out towards me
And you smile
Yeah, you smile
CHORUS
Well, I could take this one step further
Tug your lip between my teeth
Tongue
the soft spot on your neck
Behind your ear as
you suck me
Into all your empty spaces
Where I fit so well before
I could take her place in an instant
But I'm not that girl
You've been married for awhile now
Ten years, eight months, three weeks, two days
And each morning, she tucks two kids into her suburban
She's got another on the way
You wait until she rounds the corner
Before your fingers find a phone
You ask me what I've got planned for the weekend
You ask if we could get some time alone
CHORUS
Well, I could make good on your offer
Meet you in a posh hotel
Rake my teeth
along your shoulder blades
And send us straight
to hell
I could fill your empty spaces
'Cause I've filled them all before
I could take her place in an instant
But I'm not that girl
I've never been a graceful human being
I walk into walls and trip through doors
But this is one tumble I won't be taking
We
Christians, we all have our cross to bear
And
she's yours
Yeah, she's yours
CHORUS
I guess I could relieve your
burden
For a night or two each week
Make you scream out for redemption
As you struggle for release
Commandeer your empty spaces
With my
pretty, sweat-soaked curls
I could take her place
in an instant
But I'm not that girl
