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
