These lyrics were primarily written by Enigma Mirage. I just tweaked them a bit to put them into a blues, rock song for our new album "Thirst for Love" which is now streaming everywhere. 

 

- Susan Manley

[verse 1] I used to think that love was not real Just a shadow, a game, a fleeting ideal I thought it was a trick a chemical lie A fleeting transaction just passing by [pre-chorus] But then you came the world rewrote Every doubt... every fear... every bitter note. For all you lonely souls, I cannot promise fate But if love finds you, it’s worth the wait [chorus] You made a believer out of me Love isn’t logic; it’s wild, it’s free It doesn’t wear a mask... it doesn’t check the score It’s the fire in your soul... the light at your core You made a believer out of me Love is chaos; love is harmony It breaks the rules... it defies the plans It’s the world reborn when it takes your hand [verse 2] They say success is six figures, six feet tall Six of this, six of that—but love ignores it all It doesn’t play by rules, it doesn’t care for pride When you match on the soul, nothing else can divide [bridge] I thought I could engineer it Plan it... script it... steer it... I thought I’d write the book... change the game But love found me first and showed me the way And in hindsight, my plan was cruel I almost turned love into a lifeless tool But love laughed at me, it turned me around Now I sing its truth with the joy I’ve found! [chorus] You made a believer out of me Love isn’t logic; it’s wild, it’s free It doesn’t wear a mask, it doesn’t check the score It’s the fire in your soul, the light at your core You made a believer out of me Love is fierce yet it's harmony It breaks the rules, it defies all plans It’s you world reborn when it takes your hand! [outro] For all you lonely souls, I cannot say If or when love will find your way But when it does, you’ll understand. It’s not in the measures... the rules... or a brand It’s wild, it’s deep, it’s true, it’s real It’s the one thing you’ll always feel You made a believer out of me! my love made a believer out of me believer out of me [end]

My boyfriend wrote the lyrics and I just fine tuned it for the genre we published in. But that is written to me. Amazing right? And you are deep, smart, funny, charming. Whats not to love? Seriously? Half the women reading your poetry fancy that about you.
