Not entirely clay

[Verse 1]
No place to go 
if the door to your heart is closed,
When your love stays my subject, 
even when I doze,
Yet you keep ignoring 
the true love I propose. 
You're already driving me nuts, everyone knows,
Though many loves abound, 
to yours, none comes near close. 

[Pre–Chorus]
Day by day, to have your love I pray,
Less and less the words I've left to say, 
More and more in frustration I lay,
Yet my feet aren't entirely of clay. 

[Chorus]
I sincerely love you – all over me it shows,
Why not drive my heart to wherever your own goes,
And stay there to listen to this song I compose?
Maybe the truth concealed in my heart will expose.

[Verse 2]
The elegance of your beauty 
makes my heart bow,
It's like wine – 
it intoxicates and makes me drowse,
Many fish in the pool, 
but your gold fish I chose.
I'll stay by your side 
no matter the jabs life throws.

[Pre–Chorus]
Day by day, to have your love I pray,
Less and less the words I've left to say, 
More and more in frustration I lay,
Yet my feet aren't entirely of clay. 

[Chorus]
I sincerely love you – all over me it shows,
Why not drive my heart to wherever your own goes,
And stay there to listen to this song I compose?
Maybe the truth concealed in my heart will expose.

[Bridge]
Your neglect has turned your love 
to a throne of throes,
Your indifference is why I'm mocked 
by my foes,
It seems as though in your veins 
only hatred flows,
Your love life sways 
to wherever wild wind blows.

[Pre-Chorus]
Day by day, to have your love I pray,
Less and less the words I've left to say, 
More and more in frustration I lay,
Yet my feet aren't entirely of clay. 

[Outro – Prechorus Variation]
To have your love I pray, day by day,
The words I've left to say, less and less,
In frustration I lay more and more,
Yet my feet aren't entirely of clay.
