The Love That Harms Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's seen the whites of crazy eyes
Been in the camps of foreign spies
Taken lovers by surprise
The captives smile
But all the while she is wearing a disguise
Better men have been betrayed
Better men have been afraid
She's the best trick in the trade
Just another kiss
On her long hit list
And she's got you made

[Chorus]
I'd hoped I wouldn't haven't to tell you
But now it begins
The fool has rushed in
Into the waiting arms
Of the love that harms

[Verse 2]
I never knew such a hurting thing
Until she wore my wedding ring
And all the pain her love can bring
Well, I'm telling you so you won't go through
What I'm still remembering
But I can see that its just too late
The next in line's gonna have to wait
Though we all meet the same fate
In a tomb that's sealed
With a kiss of steal from a blinding date
[Chorus]
Ready or not she's got you willing
Now it begins
The fool has rushed in
Into the waiting arms
Of the love that harms

[Outro]
The fool has rushed in
Into the waiting arms
Of the love that harms
Yeah yeah
Into the waiting arms
Of the love that harms
Ooh yeah
It's the love that harms
Ooh ooh
Into the waiting arms
