Baby I know you’re infamous
But you can be my infamous love.
Baby you know I’m infamous
But I can be your infamous love.
As long as we stay in love
We can be infamous together.

Your feelings for me are an explosive scandal
They won't let you get away with it.
My feelings for you are an explosive scandal
They won't let me get away with it.
But as long as we can keep the feelings our own
We can be scandalous together and feel just fine.

Have you ever felt it all just building up inside of you
For so many years
That you just know you’ll have to break down eventually
And you don’t know when
But eventually you’ll break.
But you’re trying really really hard not to,
So hard you kind of convince yourself
That maybe you can hold it together just a bit longer,
Long enough.
And then all of a sudden something happens,
Something so small it probably went unnoticed,
But something so big it was enough to break you
The hell straw that broke the broken horse’s back
And all of a sudden everything comes flooding back
And you’re in the middle of a breakdown,
Praying that maybe this time someone will care,
Maybe the right person will see,
Maybe someone will at least try to understand,
But no.
Because you’re only broken on the inside
And there’s really nothing wrong.

I feel his touch on my skin
In tantalizing fragments of an innocent moment
A moment I don’t know if we’ll ever see
But maybe part of me really wants to
And I want to explore, just to see what could be
Regardless of what we think should be
I want to know what could happen If I was a little bolder
And he was just a little more receptive
Or God was looking down on this moment and thinking
“Yes.”

You wouldn’t think our interactions would be positive, but oh,
Yes.
So many times a minute when we're together:
Yes.
Yes, to the way he understands the part of me I hide.
Yes, to the way we touch each other sometimes,
Skin flashing on skin
And a quietly oppressed mind penetrating like kind.
And us both saying to each other
“Yes.”

Yes, my darling. Yes.

She sobs on her knees
She begs God for mercy
She has finally been broken.

She sobs and she sobs and she sobs
Pleading with her Lord to hear her prayers just once
All signs of life, all evidence of a thriving spirit within her have been crushed.

Sobbing on her knees
And saying her final prayers
She has become so broken her shattered heart beats its last.

And now all is well.
Everything is so much better now.
She wonders if any of her former friends will be sorry, but everyone knows
Everything is so much better now.
