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
