Never A Lover

Verse 1

Lust used to be my most beautiful muse

There was poetry in everyone’s eyes

I lived for the fairytale

But then the passion died

With no mortal skin to cling to,

I was burning to create,

To let my soul express,

What contact couldn’t satiate

Chorus

There was never a lover here

That could quench this desire

Never a lover here

That could put out this fire

So, I give my body to the drum

I am an instrument. The time has come

Verse 2

I was invisible to the naked eye

My voice fell on deaf ears

Still I laid my heart upon my sleeve,

Hoping that through the years

I would find a kindred

A soul to understand

But it seemed too much to ask for

Too much of a demand.

Repeat chorus

Bridge

There is no need to fear me

I’m just a girl upon the stage

Surrounded by the spotlight

I’m just passion in a cage

Verse 3

Even the strongest retreated,

When I thought I’d met my match

So I gave my heart back to the darkness

And left my soul unlatched

I still believe in fairytales

Maybe I am insane

To think someone could understand

The beauty in this pain.

Repeat chorus
