John Wesley - An Ordinary Man lyrics

rate me

How easily forgotten

how easily replaced

your loved ones become...

We are the wreckage strewn behind you

love's own casualties

from the battle that you won

You could not wait

to fly your flag

you could not wait

to raise you man in victory

I know you hate

to be mistaken

for the woman

of just an ordinary man...

To be the lover

of an ordinary man

I'm down on my knees

I'm crawling across the floor to you

I'm holding out my hand

God I do not understand

why I'm down on my knees

Now I'm troubled by your silence

I'm troubled that you no longer dare

to lay with me under the night stars

or walk unhindered on your own two legs

you could not wait

to lose your new freedom

you could not wait

to carry your new chains

I know you hate

to keep him waiting

so you'd better

drag yourself back to him again

I wanna feel alive

I wanna feel awake

to make these night stars go away

I wanna feel alive

I wanna feel awake

I wanna feel anything and

everything

this world will let me taste

I wanna see you cry

I wanna see you break

I wanna see you crash into the walls

of your own infamy
