I Could Never Belong To You

Love is something of an art
When we are led by such divided hearts
Painted black, their centre red
Beating now
They’re loaded with regret
Full of memories that you can’t neglect
Of all the things that you’ve yet to prove
Oh the times I’ve thought this whole thing through
Lived whole lifetimes in disguise from you
How can I hold to a pale idea
When you’ve given everything you can
And by everything you feel, you stand
But I could never belong to you
For all the troubles of an onward path
The confusion lacks a tragic punch
When we take the desired turns
All we have is all we can find
No-one else can make this mine
I could never belong to you
Pictures in the family ark
Faces faded, stories gone
One sure light from eras dark
Two by two they all marched on
But I could never belong to you
