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
