The Sound of Shattered Wings

(Inspired by Prince song When Doves Cry) A lonely world, they say, for a boy and a girl. Maybe I'm just too much like my father. Why do we scream at each other? This isn't love's soft pearl. How can I live through this heartache? Another tear will smother. Maybe I'm just too much like my father. We try to live as if nothing's wrong, but the silence screams louder. How can I live through this heartache? Another tear will smother. You're not my woman, I'm not your man, just dust and powder. We try to live as if nothing's wrong, but the silence screams louder. Animals strike curious poses, tearing apart what was pure. You're not my woman, I'm not your man, just dust and powder. The truth is, darling, love is sometimes just a lure. Animals strike curious poses, tearing apart what was pure. Why do we scream at each other? This isn't love's soft pearl. The truth is, darling, love is sometimes just a lure. A lonely world, they say, for a boy and a girl.
