Lyrics for In It For The Pleasure

Operator's on the phone Says, "I can't be trusted" That's why you left me alone It was broken, now it's busted A little sunshine would do But outside it's disgusting It's barely making a sound My heart is beating so loud I feel the sinking in my bones I feel the pressure Were you in it for the love Or were you Were you in it for the pleasure? It's late July And the sky is so grey Everyone's in bed For a month in LA The house is so quiet It's barely making a sound Hands are shaking My heart is beating so loud I feel this aching in my bones I feel the pressure Were you in it for the love Or was it a game? Were you just in it for the pleasure? I dive into the pool But the pool was empty There ain't no water now My bones feel like an ash cloud All the minuses and pluses I try to write them down It doesn't matter now My heart is beating so loud I feel this aching in my bones I feel the pressure Were you in it for the love, or were you Just in it for the pleasure? I lie to myself so I can stay sane A list of scratched out numbers next to names And I'm running out of space It goes on forever I feel the pain I feel the pressure What was it anyway? Do you remember my name? Or was it just a game? Was it just a game? We were just in it for the pleasure?
