Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm ever so lost

I can't find my way

Been searching

But I have never seen

A turning

A turning from deceit

[Chorus]

'Cause the child

Rose as life

Tried to reveal

What I could feel

[Verse 2]

I can't understand myself

Anymore

'Cause I'm still feeling lonely

Feeling so unholy

[Chorus]

'Cause the child

Rose as life

Tried to reveal

What I could feel

And this loneliness

It just won't leave me alone

Oh, no

[Verse 3]

I'm fooling somebody

A faithless path I roam

Deceiving to breathe this secretly

A silence

This silence I can't bear

[Chorus]

'Cause the child

Rose as life

Tries to reveal

What I could feel

And this loneliness

It just won't leave me alone

Oh, no

And this loneliness

It just won't leave me alone

[Outro]

A lady of woe

A lady of woe
