Powerless (feat. Steve Nieve)

Powerless. I’m powerless

I cannot lie

I must confess the truth

I am leaving you

And I won’t be returning

On that night, before you left

I heard you talking on the phone

Was it someone I thought we’d outgrown?

Was it your mother, or some old flame

Or another ghost from the past

I heard them say “I always knew that this wouldn’t last”

So I hang my head in pain

If you go nothing remains

But who am I to blame?

Powerless, I’m powerless

You left behind

Such a mess of blues

No one can fill the shoes

That you walked away in

On that night, before I left

I was listening to our song

That spoke of a love that went wrong

And then these words fell from my pen

I had to leave right there and then

Without a thought for how this would end

 

And though I hang my head in shame

I knew I could not remain

No one is to blame

Powerless, I’m powerless

I left behind

Such a mess of blues

But no one can fill the shoes

He walked me away in.

    

He turned you on

You turned me off

For ever charge there’s a cost

Where the power lies will never change

Your lights burns bright while mine fades

So I hang my head in pain

If you go nothing remains

But tell me who’s the one to blame

Powerless, so powerless

You left behind

Such a mess of blues

No one can fill the shoes

That you walked away in

That I walked away in

You walked away
