Temptation

I am something that you can not see
I am someone you don't want to be
I live alone but that comes with the job
I'm the door, the key, and the knob
When you fall in love I will be there
I hack away away at it until it's wear and tear
He makes a promise, I will make sure he does not keep it
He tells you he loves you, I'll make sure you don't believe it
I am the devil in a red dress, I am the lust in his heart
I love tearing you people apart
You are all so susceptible to my gift, your curse
All I need is the right wink, the right curves
Your promises mean nothing when I come to town
My favorite expression of yours is your frown
I decieve and trick you into giving in
Desire always proves to be stronger in the end
I am what you know is wrong, but I feel so right
You think you won't get caught, well, you aren't that bright
I hack and hack away at what you hold close
Slowly slipping inside like a small dose
I'm with you every day until you reach death
You can't escape me, I'm good at my job, the best
I am temptation
I'm running wild across the nation
