Torture
Rin On The Rox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know that it's torture.
The sweetest words you whisper in my ear,
Cause you know what I wanna hear.
The way you hold me like it's something real,
Cause you know what I wanna feel.
It takes two to lie,
And empty promises are wearing thin.
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Stop.
What you're doing to me?
Stop.
Like an arrow through me.
Stop.
This is torture to me.
Cause it gotta be,
All or it's nothing at all.
I'm telling you to stop.
This is torture to me.
You know that it's torture.
I lose control when you're touching me,
Cause you know what I really need.
But I need more than physicality,
So you know how it's gotta be.
It takes two to lie,
One to lie but I'm done listening.
If your hearts have finished,
Then we're finished.
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Stop.
What you're doing to me?
Stop.
Like an arrow through me.
Stop.
This is torture to me.
Cause it gotta be,
All or it's nothing at all.
I'm telling you to stop.
This is torture to me.
You know that it's torture.
I cant keep going through this.
Cant keep on leading me on.
Why you being so elusive?
You're in or you're out,
There's no middle crowd.
No, no, no, no
It's killing me. (x2)
You know that it's torture.
It's killing me (x2)
You know that it's torture.
I lose control when you're touching me.
Cause you know what I really need.
But I need more than physicality.
[Chorus] (x2)
Oh, oh
Stop.
What you're doing to me?
Stop.
Like an arrow through me.
Stop.
This is torture to me.
Cause it gotta be,
All or it's nothing at all.
I'm telling you to stop.
It's killing me. (x2)
You know that it's torture.
It's killing me (x2)
You know that it's torture.
It's killing me (x2)
You know that its torture
It's killing me (x2)
You know that it's torture.
