Virtue Bloc Party

[Verse 1]
Temptation hides in the space between
Lord, help me fight this desire for fire
Words can cleanse and purify or tear down a pack of lies
In your presence, consequence, I can't stop trembling

[Chorus]
For all of my virtue, why can I not hold the truth?
For all my good fortune, I would change my place with you
This path will lead us back, will lead us back to ruin
For all of my virtue, why can I not hold the truth?

[Post-Chorus]
This path will lead us back, will lead us back to ruin
For all of my virtue, why can I not hold the truth?

[Verse 2]
Once in a while, the urge resurfaces
So we split hairs as rumours circulate
And there's a need to fertilise behind my lover's trusting eye
Like water drops on burning rocks, I can't stop trembling

[Chorus]
For all of my virtue, why can I not hold the truth?
For all my good fortune, I would change my place with you
This path will lead us back, will lead us back to ruin
For all of my virtue, why can I not hold the truth?
