Like a Lover

Damn the heart It's just a scam from the start Another stab in the dark I aim for you Find the moment and the moment's gone Damn the heart Makes a clown from the start Another laugh in the dark I wait for you, I wait for you Like a lover Like a lover Like a lover I cling and I clamor You sting and I stammer Like a lover Like a lover Like a lover You scream and I shatter I hit like a hammer I made a promise I wouldn't leave so fast I was a child to think a promise lasts I've had to learn how to get right back To the heart of it I get closer and closer still And dare I say I come to you to play Did I misunderstand? That this was a chance to break from the man So what if I choose Another start, another scar, another name, another bruise And what if I lose? Do I lose you? Like a lover Like a lover Like a lover I cling and I clamor You sting and I stammer Like a lover Like a lover Like a lover You scream and I shatter I hit like a hammer I made a promise I wouldn't leave so fast I was a child to think a promise lasts I've had to learn how to get right back To the heart of it I get closer and closer still And damn my love's delay I found my life too late And damn the heart It leads you far Then drops you cold again Damn the heart It's just a sham from the start Another stab in the dark I aim for you, I aim for you Like a lover I cling and I clamor You sting and I stammer Like a lover You scream and I shatter I hit like a hammer I made a promise I wouldn't leave so fast I was a child to think a promise lasts I've had to learn how to get right back To the heart of it I get closer and closer I made a promise I wouldn't leave so fast I was a child I've had to learn how to get right back To the heart of it I get closer and closer still
