• Forgive me father for I have sinned
  I loved a man
  I lost my heart, again
  Untangling these tattering ropes
  Was a cause just as lost as my hopes

  Baby, I knew you were locked up tight
  In that tower you call your home
  Maybe if you let me take a look inside
  You'll find you don't always have to be alone

  So tell me that I'm wasting my time
  Tell me love isn't blind
  That the stars don't shine in the night sky
  Tell me nothing is real
  I don't feel what I feel
  If that helps you deal with a change in life

  Heaven forbid somebody loves you
  Hell, I'd stop it if I could
  Love is a rebel child
  It does just what it wants to
  Not what it should

  I'll hold onto my heart to keep it warm
  I'd drop it if I knew what was good
  But in case you do something wild
  I've reserved that space in my arms
  Though it might put you in danger
  It means don't be a stranger
  If you misunderstood

  So tell me that I'm wasting my time
  Tell me love isn't blind
  That the stars don't shine in the night sky
  Tell me nothing is real
  I don't feel what I feel
  Well, I'm a thief, and I'll steal your sunken heart tonight

  So tell me that I'm wasting my time
  Tell me love isn't blind
  Tell me stars don't shine

  Forgive me father for I have sinned
  I loved a man
  I lost my heart, again
  And if you look out on that rocky shore
  You'll see the tallest tower, nevermore
