Lyrics:
So, you told everyone
You’re falling in love
With this wonderful guy
The kind you all have to see
Touching your soul
Reaching to your heart
Knowing your needs
Making you beautiful
Walks on the beach
Calling you
Mon chéri
Dancing tonight
Holding you close
Scanning your pains
Naming them, learning them
Feeding the love
Sent from above
You think when I claim
You are my everything
Little too much, little too soon, you think Sometimes Soon you will learn that my love is
A riddle, I´m a mourning dove
Turning brittle, you shall become
What I need you to feed me, love
Intimidated, weep
Love me, feed me pain so deep
While I still need to hear you
Call me your love
Stand in the rain, alone in the dark
Wait for a train you know will never come
Hip-hip hooray, you can´t wish me away
Now that I have the key
And know when you´re home alone
I have never let you know me,
My love,
Changing the locks, changing your name, I´m a
Riddle, I´m a mourning dove…
Love, always, lonely,
Feed me love, feed me pain,
Weakness you have shown me
Fills my dark, bruise-black heart
Always, only mine, you are
Perfect life
Perfect, I
HA!
You will learn how deep a bruise can be
You will learn my name, unriddle me
Once upon, guess I was made this way
Beauty, trusting love, my fuel, my prey
Tell me you’re merely token,
My love
Tell me you’re forever broken
Riddle, I´m a mourning dove
Turning brittle, you shall become
What I need you to feed me, love
Intimidated, weep
Love me, feed me pain so deep
Cause I still need to hear…
Still need your pain, keep feeding me, love
