The Lover

My eyes see tears through the rage of my past They search for answers through the veil they cast How many times, now, and I walked this road How many times have these solemn tears flowed Can you tell me why my heart still burns Why this road winds me up in its twists and turns Can you sell me lies to hide what's true And give me a reason to forget you You whispered sweet nothings into my ear And told me that you'd always be here Now I'm lying here in your web of lies Trapped here like so many flies Can you show me why you chose to leave me then Will it be a reason for me not to believe again Can you give me a reason not to love Or will you make me fly away like a dove
