lyrics

Adrift, on changing tides, a year gone by\
Having someone to love kept me alive\
Alone, amongst that kind, sick, broken and tried\
My soul was dark and in need I asked and you gave\
Moving from place to place\
A train, a bus, and a brand new face \
I tried to forget, but you just wouldn't quit\
\
Why are the people who say yes\
Never the ones who make you feel best? \
They're a trophy, or a mistake\
They're a settle, or dishonest and fake. \
Maybe love was just cursed from the start? \
A maze with no exit, deceiver of hearts?\
\
Don't you worry,\
That I don't believe;\
However it ended,\
Our love was good to me.\
It's horrid, right now\
In that I won't pretend,\
But you'll glow, and you'll shine Once I'm on the mend.\
\
That night, was dark indeed seemed endless to me.\
Please remember the power of words to deceive\
Not in how they're written but how they're read\
It was all in my mind, all in my head, so\
Take care with a heart, when it's lost in that dark\
Reading them now, it's oh so clear\
But during the storm I just wanted to hear\
That you were mine, \
A sickness and madness that none can defy\
Love\
\
But Why do we feel such yearning for things we can't have? \
Out nature torments us and tears us in half\
The fire of youth burns at us all;\
When will it end, when will the dice fall?\
Maybe love was just cursed from the start? \
A maze with no exit, deceiver of hearts?\
\
Don't you worry,\
This I don't believe;\
Requited or not,\
Our love was good to me.\
It\'s horrid, right now\
In that I won't pretend,\
But you'll glow, and you'll shine once I'm on the mend\
Yeah you'll glow in my mind until the very end\
