O Lover

So what's it gonna be? Hold you like a baby But then comes whiskey every night A human punch bag Easy target Can nothing stop it? Every night I'm sure he's careful Not to mark you He's not that stupid Remember who you are More than a lover There is another life for you They're only broken plates At least it's not your face That has to be replaced And when he talks of faith It's just a ploy to keep you his Oh lover, I'm here to tell you You can do better And you will soon You may not know it Your life has started I'm here to see a flower Lush and parted So what's it gonna be? Christ, come with me I'll give you safety, baby Remember who you are You're not your mother There is another life for you They're only broken plates At least it's not your face That has to be replaced And when he talks of faith It's just a ploy to keep you his Oh lover, I'm here to tell you You can do better And you will soon You may not know it Your life has started I'm here to see a flower Lush and parted Lover, think what you've been through I know it's useful Hate's not a virtue You may not know it Your life has started It's time to raise and bloom Now he's departed Lover, they're only broken plates Shame it's not his face That has to be replaced And when he talks of faith It's just a ploy to keep you Oh lover, I'm here to tell you You can do better And you will soon You may not know it Your life has started I'm here to see a flower Lush and parted Lover, think what you've been through I know it's useful Hate's not a virtue You may not know it Your life has started It's time to raise and bloom Now he's departed Lover
