Hopelessly Devoted

And the day the love runs out, is the day I die.

I’ve carved, and I’ve cut my chest with a knife

I’ve bled, I’ve given it all my fight

No-one can say I haven’t tried

But if I can’t love…

I don’t want to be alive.

I can’t grow up, I can’t let go

Love is the only thing I know

I gave it my all

the church of detachment stands tall

I laid at the gates

They’d say
“you’ve still got quite a ways”

I ran to the back, they wouldn’t let me in

told me all this love I’ve given

is some kind of sin

“Co-dependent”

You know I gave it my best

But somethings aren’t for all of us

They couldn’t erase

my trust

They couldn’t clean off

my love

It’s endless

I wanted, to be like them

I really tried to give it up

But the day the love dies

So do I.

keep your purity, your detachment too

I’d rather bleed, I’d rather love you

I’d rather suck marrow of holy wound

I’d rather surrender to this need

Hopelessly Devoted

Never Sugar Coated

Hopelessly Devoted.

That’s Me.
