I'm in bed, layin' down, naked
He's inside of me
I love him, kiss his mouth, prayin'
He can't see what I see
When I close my eyes
You replace him
Wearin' no disguise
You erase him
I wanna feel guilty
I wanna feel that it's wrong
I wanna know peace again
Wanna sing a different song
I want you to need me
I need to want somethin' more
He gives what he can
But now I don't know what he's givin' for
I'm in bed, layin' down, naked
You're inside of me
I love him, kiss his mouth, sayin'
"Oh, yeah, baby, touch, and touch, and touch, and touch me"
I wanna feel guilty
I wanna feel that it's wrong
I wanna know peace again
Wanna sing a different song
I want you to need me (need me)
I need to want somethin' more (somethin' more)
He gives what he can
But now I don't know what he's givin' for
Softer, harder, in-between
You know just how to get to me
He is stable, you are deep
I know just how to get what I need
I wanna feel guilty
I wanna feel that it's wrong
I wanna know peace again
Wanna be singin' a different song
It's only a question
If somebody brings it up
So I'm pushin' it down and prayin'
He won't see it when I come
I'm pushin' it down and prayin'

The lyrics convey vivid imagery and emotions that offer a glimpse into the protagonist's inner turmoil. For instance, the opening lines establish a physical intimacy with another partner while hinting at a stronger emotional connection to someone else—a pattern that contradicts the comfort the speaker finds in her current situation.
Phrases like "I wanna feel guilty" and "I wanna know peace again" illustrate a desire to reconcile these conflicting feelings. The pre-chorus further emphasizes this conflict as the speaker closes her eyes and imagines a different partner, blurring the lines of loyalty.
The metaphor of "pushing it down and praying" emerges as a powerful expression of suppressing complicated feelings, hoping to avoid confrontation or acknowledgment of the truth that lies beneath the surface.
