10,000 Cadillacs - Exercise In True Love lyrics

rate me

My heart broke for the last time last night <br />

When I saw her disappear into the moonlight chasing midnight <br />

As I sat paging through the newspaper reading about who's at war with who? <br />

Who's lying to who? who's beating who? <br />

I reached for my cup of coffee <br />

As black as the minds of men and the hearts of women <br />

And I felt an uncontrollable emptiness. <br />

I looked up and through the glass window <br />

Hazy with a blanket of industry <br />

When suddenly the most beautiful woman appeared <br />

Like a cherub familiar yet strange. <br />

I felt as if I knew her as well as my own secrets<br />

Yet I knew nothing. <br />

I felt an urge to jump out of my seat and hold her <br />

Then I realized a beauty of this magnitude <br />

Need not be tarnished by the expectations of another <br />

Nor could she ever again be what she was to me <br />

At that very moment an ounce of faith <br />

For a soul drunk with apathy. <br />

It's strange how we instinctively <br />

Attempt to alter what we love <br />

Often spawning the antithesis of it's own incarnate. <br />

This masochistic ignorance defines our species <br />

And will ultimately lead to our demise. <br />

As for my love outside that window <br />

Untainted she walks alone. <br />

I hope you know <br />

I hope you know that I love you for <br />

Forever and when forever never comes <br />

You'll be in my arms together-together-forever-forever <br />

We are one <br />

We are one
