Lyrics
You've Never Lived
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All that's left of me, of me that was, is a former shadow,
Once amidst great work, then she came, and then she came,
That's your point.
And right here's for me; right here and nowhere else.
There's no underground; bitterness is what you've found.
You've Never Lived.
The risk was hers, every bit hers; I gave her this warning.
Never love a man who has no sister, clings to your breast,
Only you know him.
And right here's for me; right here and nowhere else.
As collectors call; I will whisper as they fall.
You've Never Lived.
A great reputation she kept up, My God! she kept me up.
I'm no genius, just a former genius, a shadow of the genius
That I am.
And right here's for me; right here and nowhere else.
As collectors call; I will whisper as they fall.
You've Never Lived.
And its the Luckiest Charm and the Luckiest Charm.
And its the Luckiest Charm and the Luckiest Charm.
And it will do you no harm. It will do you no harm because
It's the Luckiest Charm Oh its th Luckiest Charm full of belief
And it will do you no harm. It will do you no harm.
And right here's for me; right here and nowhere else.
Right here's for me; right inside, right beside.
You've Never Lived.
And right here's for me; right here and nowhere else.
You're my Lucky Charm; Luckiest Charm I've ever had!
And it does you no harm; No-No-No-No-No-No-No.
You've Never Lived.
It's the Luckiest Charm and the Luckiest Charm.
Yeahs it's the Luckiest Charm and the Luckiest Charm.
And it will do me no harm, it will do me no harm.
