My Wretched Love

I turn away from all the ones who hold on for dear life
And my fear of love suddenly rises as a cloudy trace of fiendish sorrow
That makes me run just to survive

I single out the ones who’ll never hold me in their hearts
And then I will lie under the spell of their resounding glory and raving stories
Of how they need to stay apart

Time will ease the strain to wander
And time will heal my wretched love
And I will leave the way to wonder why you’re inside me, my wretched love

I’lll seek for all the ones who’ll try to deal with all my faults
And my need of love suddenly rears its head and drowns my spirit, forces my hand
And sends me out into the cold

And time will ease the strain to wander
And time will heal my wretched love
And I will leave the way to understanding loneliness, my wretched love
