i will live

it’s an aching loneliness
i confess
was it the cat curling up
while i slept
that awoke this loneliness
what a mess
how much more am i to bear
growing need
emo bleed
desperate for someone to hear

but not just anyone
no, not just anyone

the wagons circle
shudders close
there must be someone
who knows
how to reach that part of me
so long sleeping
promise keeping
worshipping what no one sees
how alone
can any one person be

but not just any one
oh, not just any one

the eyes roll back
heartbeats relax
and i am ready to die…
but i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
for love
for love
for love

it’s an aching loneliness
i confess
was it the cat curling up
while i slept
waking with a living breathing
animal in my arms
waking charms
what a mess
how much more am i to bear
growing need
emo bleed
desperate for someone to hear

but not just anyone
no, not just anyone

i mean no harm
i work hard to make that true
in every little thing i do
it is my way
and most of you
might say it is the way
of an innocent child, ok
maybe that is why i remain
alone again, unnaturally, in pain
please allow me to introduce myself
or please allow me to go insane

the eyes roll back
heartbeats relax
and i am ready to die…
but i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
for love
for love
for love

it’s an aching loneliness
i confess
was it watching the couples kissing
at the party
wishing someone was with me
in that way
what can i say
what a mess
how much more am i to bear
growing need
emo bleed
desperate for someone to hear

but not just anyone
no, not just anyone

i will live for love
i will live for love
i will live for love
