I cannot write about you
I’ve lost my sight about you
Looking at the white of you
Cooking from the bright of you
So much to invite of you
So much to delight of you
CHORUS
You keep leading me on, with your push and pull
I’m bleeding out but inside, my heart feels so full
You’ve overtaken my will, I’m losing control
Will you relinquish your power, and release my soul?
I struggle with “despite you”
But I need respite from you
Lest I not see right from you
It’s become my plight, you
My resolve takes fright from you
My mind awake at night from you
CHORUS
Can’t escape the bite of you
Quell my appetite of you
Withdrawn from the fight of you
Yet still drawn to the light of you
Each dawn, the flight of you
On and on, the might of you
Might for you I someday be more
Than worn out slippers on your floor
I’m comfort when life’s hard
I’m cozy when you’re cold
You walk all over me
Yet to your contours I mould
You forget how well I fit
My novelty’s grown old
But devotion like mine
Is worth more than gold
And I promise, on you
No soul is more sold
Promise on you, I do
No soul is more sold
