Former Glory - Striker

If hurting me doesn't hurt you Then you don't love me I'm just being used Hold the gate, I'm coming through I'm gon' run far away from you All on my own once again We're made to be lovers, not meant to be friends I'm stuck on the former, you're stuck on the fence Drunk if you think that I'll wait here again Age won't protect you from love Darling, love will protect you from age Up above, Jesus help us Oh, to find every reason to stay Far from alone once again We're made to be lovers, not meant to be friends I'm stuck on the former and you're stuck on the fence Drunk if you think that I'll wait here again Again Oh, again Yes, again Again (oh, again and again and again, again) Again (oh, again) Again (and again) Again (again)

So who was first? Obviously not me She's locked up inside herself and I can't get anything free So, won't somebody tell me please Why the former owner always keeps the keys There's no bubbles to burst No bursting out crying nor dying of thirst She's utterly tied to somebody else And it seems he got there first And no, I'm not untying The reins around her neck that she feels And I won't try to prize out of her the truth anymore When she lies about the things that she sees Because the former owner always keeps the keys There's no calling "Come here, you're necessary to me" There's no excitement in her face when I implore "Corrupt me and confess to me some more" And when we hear trees falling or see people disappearing Her emotions won't be reached or released Because the former owner is (keeping the keys) keeping the keys Like a ticket inspector running for a bus Irony's revenge surrounds us And it's ironic that he promised you he'd never let you go When he's left you, used-up and disturbed And I said "Just as the early bird catches the worm The early cat catches the bird" But that former owner is keeping his word Keeping his word

I can't believe what I saw that night And I still don't think I do Strange lights are moving through the sky Is this a dream is this the end I can see The phoenix lights Fly through the sky Tell me why give me a reason Or is it all just smoke and mirrors And I know what I saw you can't tell me I'm crazy The truth is out there I believe You've got to set me free
