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
