Lost In The Fold

Like Rhett Butler on a down slide, I tried to win your love. No matter how hard I tried Over those sixteen years, You just couldn’t be satisfied. Taking my devotion for granted, Worshipping some illusion in the sky, I gave you truth, You told me lies. Like a fated twist, You're now saying you love me As I’m saying goodbye. I believed in true love, You were my life. Now I find Our love was a lie. How could this be, You flitting around Like a butterfly, Me standing like a tree? You shook my faith, You brought me to my knees. You committed the worst sin, You failed to believe. Our paths ran together But you wanted something else. You missed out on love, You indulged in yourself. I had what you needed, I was your hard working little elf. You took what I gave you And put it on the shelf. Now you’re confused and hurting, You’re sad and lonely, And I don’t know how to help. I’m broken hearted And your heart is cold. I’m going down And you’re getting old. I want to grab you But there’s nothing to hold. Love is forever, But our life together Is like a story untold, Like a mutation In life’s evolution That’s been lost in the fold. Without a Vow Our Love Will Range My Unconscious Baby We’re Really Just Alone
