But Not Tonight a Depeche Mode / Twilight Song Challenge
I knew I couldn't just Enjoy the Silence nor listen to the Sounds of the Universeas he Stripped me of my New Dress and invaded My Secret Garden. I suppose we were both Love Thieves. For him it was A Question Of Lust. For me he was the Sweetest Perfection, my Angel in black.
He brought out the Sinner in Me. The pain that I suffered didn't make me want to Shout, it didn't make me Scared, it was A Pain That I'm Used To, it was my Heaven.
It would only be a Question of Time. I was in front of the Barrel of A Gun, he was Behind The Wheel and it would be a Black Daywhen this ended, there would be Blasphemous Rumors, I would probably never Breathe again.
Any Second Now I would Surrender. I knew how to Suffer Well, and he always knew how to tell When the Body Speaks.
Tonight we swim in a Sea of Sin. Tonight there would be Condemnation, he had me In Chains he would Corrupt me, he was Dangerous, he had no Halo, yet he was Perfect, he knew how to Soothe my Soul.
He would not Rush as he took me down the Dark Road towards the Darkest Star in the Dead of Night. I hoped he wouldn't leave me broken at Death's Door lying in the Dirt. I knew I could Dream On.
They say Everything Counts. Easy Tigerslow down, I See You. We had been Fools, ours wasn't a Freelove, this was not a Freestatewe would never Get the Balance Right. I was once the Happiest Girl. This was not a Higher Love. He would never take me Home. I wish I could say that I Feel Loved, but ours was a Strangelove, It's No Good. He is an Ice Machine. It felt Uselessto fight him.
It Doesn't Matter. It's Called A Heart, but mine had been thrown into the Abyss. I was no more than a Jezebel, he was my Judas. But I know that I Just Can't Get Enough, enough of him.
It was a Love In Itself, and I was a Martyr. He said I had Nothing to Fear, People Are People yet we were Master and Servant. I no longer remembered the Meaning Of Love, love seemed Miles Away.
He was my Personal Jesus. He said he had a Policy of Truth and I was his Precious Pleasure, his Little Treasure.
I had hoped that I was Somebody, that he would bring me the Sun and the Moon and the Stars. But Not Tonight. Tonight, I knew that I was his Painkiller. We both needed Peace, I hoped I could Shake the Disease.
They say that Nothing's Impossible, I wanted a New Life I wanted to be Newborn. I needed a Rebirth. I wanted to Shine.
I would leave, Leave in Silence. No Light, he would no longer Lie To Me to my Little Soul.
This had to be The Bottom Line. I had wished that he would Never Let Me Down Again.
I would be Walking in My Shoes, Waiting for The Night he would never see the World in My Eyes. I would always be Wrong for him. I wouldn't say Goodbye. I would forever be Alone.
I would always be a Sister of Night.
