Jezebel |
To think of my task is chilling |
To know i was carefully building the mask i was wearing |
For two years, swearing i’d tear it off |
I’ve sat in the dark explaining to myself |
That i’m straining too hard |
For feelings i ought to find easily |
Called myself jezebel |
I don’t believe |
Before i say that the vows we’ve made |
Weigh like a stone in my heart |
Family is family, don’t let this tear us apart |
You lie there, an innocent baby |
I feel like the thief who is raiding your home |
Entering and breaking and taking in every room |
I know your feelings are tender |
Inside you the embers still glow |
But i’m a shadow, i’m only a bed of blackened coal |
Call myself jezebel for wanting to leave |
I’m not saying i’m replacing love for some other word |
To describe the sacred tie that bound me to you |
I’m just saying we’ve mistaken one for thousands of words |
And for that mistake |
I’ve caused you such pain |
That i damn that word! |
I’ve no more ways to hide |
That i’m a desolate and hollow place inside |
I’m not saying i’m replacing love for some other word |
To describe the sacred tie that bound me to you |
I’m not saying love’s a plaything |
No, it’s a powerful word |
Inspired by strong desire to bind myself to you |
How i wish that we never had tried |
To be man and his wife |
To weave our lives into a blindfold |
Over both our eyes |
