Lover of Mine

Lonely is a lover of mine Each year he grows stronger And his grip is so tight He found me when i was younger Crying alone Told me he'd be a shelter Told me he would be a home And I've been with him ever since He's my past, my present tense I see nothing in my future Nothing hidden in the stars I think he will forever cast a shadow on my heart And I know he thinks he loves me Wants to keep me as his own Until now I never felt sorry I let him Carve my body in stone But still But still Lonely is a lover Of mine I laid on the edge of my bed I felt the cold brush of his breath Reminding me he's here Instead of another's warm flesh And I remember a time When I loved him once But that was when the empty Didn't hurt so much But no memory Of a feeling Can heal me now And I know he thinks he loves me Wants to keep me as his own Until now I never felt sorry I let him Carve my body in stone But still But still Lonely is a lover Of mine If I could go back in the moment When he first reached out his hands No fingers of my would clasp anyone But time's And I would take all of the tears That turned to ashes on my skin I'd keep them in a jar to show And hope that I would understand But it doesn't matter now No it doesn't matter now And I know he thinks he loves me Wants to keep me as his own Until now I never felt sorry I let him Carve my body in stone But still But still Lonely is a lover Lonely is a lover Lonely is a lover Lonely is a lover Of mine
