I Have Lived, I Have Loved

I have lived. I have loved. I---I have lived! I---I have loved! I---I have lived! I---I have loved! In this world of Devils, Angels fly away to escape; In this world so full of Devils, there is no-one left to save. When there is nothing left, but the evil in their ways. We are all to bla---me! For no-one being saved. We are surrounded by wolves and I hear their howls; How am I alone! Meant to make you feel sa---fe? When the fires burn and there is nowhere left to turn; How am I alone! Meant to act my a---ge? I---I have lived! I---I have loved! I---I have lived! I---I have loved! Nothing costs the heart, as much as love. Nothing makes the heart; feel so good. Nothing is ever, worth the cost of your soul; Nothing is lost, when the risk you take is love. I took the drugs! I took the pain! In the end it all fades and it all goes away. I never did enough; if I could I would change. My life a waste. Never be a slave to the wage. I---I have lived! I---I have loved! I---I have lived! I---I have loved! What I want, doesn’t matter as much, As the truth being set free and a new kind of love. What I’ve lost, never compared to love. I took the drugs; I took too much. Now I am gone, heading into the sun; Breaking bad habits, never did me wrong. I’ve learned a lot on my journey through love; Now the end has come, so I will carry on. I---I have lived! I---I have loved! I---I have lived! And I have loved! (C)2016 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
