I know I shouldn't say this
I know
I know I shouldn't miss you
I shouldn't want you
I shouldn't think I need you because
I don't
Well that's what I keep on telling myself
You've caused me so much pain
Yet I miss you with such an ache in my heart
And God, God, I know I shouldn't
He's broken me
God, take this out of me
Take it out!
I do not wish to have him again
I do not wish for the hurt he caused me
The way he made me hate every man
And fear to succumb to any man's love
Or comment on my appearance
For the fear he caused in me...
The fear of man taking away that innocence...
God, he was my muse
God, I do not want him to be my muse any longer
God, I want a new muse
God, give me a muse
Give me a passion that will ignite
God, give me a love that I cannot get out of my heart
God help me
God help me
I need a new muse
I need to find my muse in a newfound love
In a high romance
I want a passion
And a crimson heart
That is set on fire
From that romance
God, help me
Help me
Find
My
New
Muse.
