I saw your face in the LEDs

My revenge was your gift to me

It’s something that I can never repay,

but I will try anyway.

I sent a message I know you’d see

A promise written on a TV screen

Now fate lead you down the path to me

and I’m begging you on my knees

Cause baby when our eyes met

I could never look away

You’re all I ever wanted

There’s nothing left to say

Cause baby you can use me

I will do what you want me to

And baby you can kill me

When I’m no use to you

My body will be your fortress

I will keep you safe from pain

My eyes will be your weapons

My losses are your gains

Together we can burn this to the ground

Rebuild it into something right

Cause you are bigger than the planet Earth

And I am your satellite

Cause baby when our eyes met

I could never look away

You’re all I ever wanted

There’s nothing left to say

Cause baby you can use me

I will do what you want me to

And baby you can kill me

When I’m no use to you

I’m not afraid and I’m not alone

Because you’re with me in my dreams

(You’re with me tonight)

I won’t give up on this perfect love

Even when my memories fail me

(Even when my memories fail me)

Cause I see you through burning eyes

I write your name down in my heart

Oh baby I’m just using you

My love you know I want you to

Look into the skies

Cause baby when our eyes met

I could never look away

You’re all I ever wanted

There’s nothing left to say

Cause baby you can use me

I will do what you want me to

And baby you can kill me

When I’m no use to you

Baby when our eyes met

You’re all I ever wanted
