In the dark of an empty hearth you laid,
And I fed you honey til my due had been paid,
And in time you had known me as something you loved,
But to me you were someone and that was enough,
When I was at peace you were unimpressed,
As time went on I could tolerate you less,
I would hide my grief beside you in bed,
You in the moment I in my head,
[chorus] Oh I trusted you like Adam did Eve,
I bit the apple and you stood up to leave,
And I’ll admit I didn’t want you to go,
I’m so relieved I’m not yours anymore,
The serpent had told you to that we’re meant to be,
The only serpent I’d known was at the base of a tree,
You needed to heal but you wanted a wife,
To hold you together the rest of your life,
I wasn’t made of your rib I was forged into life,
Of death and of beauty and the full moon’s light,
You couldn’t accept that I’m not made for you,
Or anything then I was going through,
Lord, I trusted you like Adam did Eve,
I bit the apple and you stood up to leave,
And I’ll admit at first I didn’t want you to go,
I’m so relieved I’m not yours anymore,
It was lonely beside you in Eden,
I’m burning in hell but I love the feeling,
I committed the first and greatest of sins,
To trust someone else and to let them in.
