Irreconcilable Paradox

I gave you the words You made them superb We're the top most team I wrote winning songs Your voice made them strong Fame came from your dream ( - - C H O R U S - -) ... So it's you who'll perform A bypass on me Ripped out and torn By your celebrity You relish the chase Ready for next face Devouring your fame . .. Do you remember me saying ... You bring the words to me Nothing was spared in them Lyrics lay everything bare Love notes sent from me Soared your popularity You waited for the next I wrote us in those stories Only you claimed the glory ... What do you expect... ( - - C H O R U S - -) ... So it's you who'll perform a bypass on me Ripped out and torn By your celebrity You're top of your game Pop star misbehaving I sit in the shade ... Do you remember me saying... You bring the words to me Everything exposed.... You sing the words in me To strangers, something we made ( - - BRIDGE - -) Words the World has never heard I put them into your mouth Fame has raised you, but I made you And you have closed me out Celebrity stole your care Hunting here, pausing there Let me bring the lines to life... Why can't I touch your soul? Authenticity you'll never know. Love like this won't come twice.... ( repeat first part of Chorus several times ) 21st August 2020 Edward Ibeh Contest, Pick A Title Lyric
