Had to Know Lyrics

Tonight I spilled myself on the floor
Admired the way you clawed through the door
Remember the precious look on your face
You measured a dose aquired the taste

Keep on trying, questions firing
More than you bargained for
Cause you really had to know

Tonight I left you with so much unsaid
You brokered a deal alone in my bed
It's no surprise I been here before
You're not the first to be wanting more

Keep on trying, questions firing
More than you bargained for
Cause you really had to know

Had to know
We stand above a place to fall
Had to know

Keep on trying, questions firing
More than you bargained for

Keep on trying, questions firing
Clawed your way through the door

Keep on trying, questions firing
Spilled myself on the floor
Cause you really had to know

Had to know
We stand above a place to fall
