Between These Sheets

Between these sheets I can laugh.
Between these sheets I can love.
Between these sheets you are mine,
But once out from between, we're out of time.

You'll return now to her, just like you always do.
I know that I wasn't meant for you.
Know that you weren't meant for me.
The best I can hope for is hidden moments of ecstasy.

My dirty little secret.
Between these sheets is all I have, but not all that I crave.
But when you are near me it's so easy to give in.
Damn near impossible not to cave.
Into this kind of bittersweet fantasy.
Living a life of secrecy.

Knowing you hold her at night yet still,
I'll keep silent and hopelessly wait until,
You return to burn me with the lies and heat.
To hold and love me between these sheets.
