Lyrics
I don't wanna let this go to waste
Your love, it doesn't smell like what it tastes
If I can't remember what it's like
Maybe you could come back later and tell me why it's right
I miss the echo of my lovers sound
I can't hear it six feet underneath the ground
Take the very blessing from my mouth
And pour it out like water in the valley of my doubt
Was I singled out for some holy cause?
Have you no remorse?
Who are you to say it's love?
I don't wanna be loved
I just wanna be lifted up
Everyone I ever loved has passed
Almost like an evil curse or spell of pain was cast
Take away my emptiness for good
Everything I ever read about you said you could
Was I singled out for some holy cause?
Have you no remorse?
And if this loneliness is love
I don't wanna be loved
I just wanna be lifted up
Lay me down in fields of memories
Take me to a place where all my fears can be released
Have I let you down?
With my fits of rage?
Hold me in your arms
I just wanna hear you say
I'm the one that you loved
I'm the one that you love I'm the one that you lifted up
