Seems like forever and a day      If my intentions are misunderstood   Please be kind   I’ve done all I should   I won’t ask of you   What I would not do   Oh, I saw the damage in you   My fortunate one   The envy of youth      Why would they   Tell me to please those   That laugh in my face?   When all of the reasons   They’ve taught us   Fall over themselves   To give way      It’s not a question   Whether my heart is true   Streamlined   I had to pull through   Look for a new   Beginning on you   Oh I got a message for you   Up and away   It’s what I gotta do   Forgive what you have   For what you might lose      What would you say   If I told you that I’m to blame?   And what would you do   If I had to deny your name?   Where would you go if I told you   I love you   And then walked away?   N’ who should I turn to   If not for the ones   You could not save      I told you when I found you   If there were doubts you   Should be careful and unafraid   Now they surround you   And all that amounts to   Is love that you fed by   Perversion and pain      So if my affections   Are misunderstood   And you decide   I’m up to no good   Don’t ask me to   Enjoy them   Just for you      Ask yourself   Why I would choose   To prostitute myself   To live with fortune and shame?   Oh yeah   When you should   Have turned to the hearts   Of the ones   That you would not save      I told you   When I found you   All that it amounts to   Is love that you fed by   Perversion and pain
