Lyrics:

So it's a private education,
and it's not getting any easier,
but if it's any indication,
well I feel a little weaker now.
And it's a private education,
so I present you with your degree.
A degree of separation goes a long long way when schooling me.

So forgive me for what I have done,
and forgive me for what I might do,
and redeem me to everyone,
as I submit myself to you.

You could wear me 'round like your best dress and I wouldn't mind,
you could ruin me in one long night and then cast me aside,
you could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn't change your heart,
or kiss your scars,
or find your heat there in the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark.

So it's a private education,
and I'm feeling like an innocent.
Though I feel a little guilty now,
since I've sinned against myself again.

So forgive me for what I have done,
and forgive me for what I might do,
and redeem me to everyone,
as I submit myself to you.

You could wear me 'round like your best dress and I wouldn't mind,
you could ruin me in one long night and then cast me aside,
you could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn't change your heart,
or kiss your scars,
or find your heat there in the dark.

I wanna learn you good,
I wanna read your text,
I wanna cut you deeper,
wanna cut you best.
Now my cautionary ways are swept aside,
I fear you not,
all my past disclaimers and alibis,
I've now forgot,
you could turn your mind back to your past and I couldn't change your heart,
or kiss your scars,
or find your heat there in the dark.

So it's a private education, and it's not getting any cheaper, I wear the cost around like a wound, and I'll try not to bleed all over you.
