Love gone amok
Desire led astray
Praying for the familiar
Begging you to stay
Remembering when
Love was fresh and new
Hoping against hope
Hear my cry for you
I heard what you said
But you don't know my heart
How could you leave me?
Tear my life apart?
The pain is unbearable
Please take it away
Return my lover
End now my dismay
In time, I'll accept
Love forced isn't real
But for now I resist
Refuse to start to heal
My temptation to replace
Love lost with love anew
Will only bring heartache
Keep me bound in blue
Help me to know
Loving you starts with me
To love someone else
First, love I have to be
