Velvet Dreams

I must guard this precious heart I must close these jaded eyes My small world has come apart Under the weight of our demise The words you say, the way you move The lies you tell, the bones you bruise Cannot be mended, cannot be healed I am the soul that no longer feels You must leave, you must go I am better here alone I have nothing left to steal I am the soul that no longer feels You must leave, you must go I am better here alone I am better here A velvet veil covered your head White like the satin on our bed These vows were never meant to be so mean This is not my velvet dream You must leave, you must go I am better here alone I have nothing left to steal I am the sould that no longer heals You must leave, you must go I am better here alone Be this hell or in between These are not my velvet dreams These are not my dreams --- Velvet Dreams - John Wesley
