You struck me with a love song
You stole the breath from my lungs
Your words are oh so sickly-sweet
Just dripping off your tongue
Your voice can weave such wonders
And I’m defeated before I know it
I’m caught it seems, have pity on me
Trapped in a world and you own it
You’re plucking at my heartstrings
You’ve showered me in lies
You know the effect you have on me
I can see it in your eyes.
So here I stand before you
You’ve captured my heart, my pride
So I’m taking a chance
A bet on romance
Throw in all my chips and just let it ride.
I am both old and young at once
So here is my question of youth
So why did you this time lie to me
When before you always gave me truth?
I’ve lost track, who is this to anymore?
I’m ready now to see what you’ve shown
I guess I just want to say ‘thank you’
For helping the parts that have grown
I’m not easy, I’m not nice
And I’ve been this way for awhile
But you were there, words or not
When all I really needed was to smile
I might be losing my mind now
So I hope you read in between
But I’ll guard your heart
Through the strange and the dark
Every King, now and then, needs his Queen
