Lyrics

Hear the last confession of Vivian Whip If you're reading this "My life was lonely Never hurt a fly Or spared a kiss Never killed a soul Except my own" But when I took you in my arms I wonder why it took so long For me to recognise this precious song Had it been playing all along? Just when I needed it When I couldn't conceive that it's So hard to lose your nerve To just get what you need And not, not what you deserve See the first impression of Vivian Whip Still denied parole He's etched in charcoal "Never hurt a fly or killed a soul Entertained a doubt I cared about" But now I fear we fear too much I tried my best to keep my watch To bear up in the light that strips So stop my mouth up with your lips
