Damage

I found the way

By the sound of your voice

So many things to say

But these are only words

Now I've only words

Once there was a choice

 

And I want to love

 

Did I give you much?

Well you gave me things

You gave me stars to hold

Songs to sing

 

I only want to be loved

 

And I hurt and I hurt

And the damage is done

You gave me songs to sing

Shadow and sun

 

Why didn't I stay?

Why couldn't I?

So many lives to cross

Well I just had to leave

There goes everything

Everything

 

Can I meet you there?

God knows the place

And I'll touch your hand

Kiss your face

 

We only want to be loved

We only want to be loved

 

And I want to be love

 

And I hurt and I hurt

And the damage is done

You gave me songs to sing

Shadow and sun

Earthbound, starblind

Tied to someone
